Oyo State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde has the people of the state will not allow desperate politicians to hijack the government, saying that the electorates know that those desperate politicians are thieves.
Makinde told those showing traces of desperation to wait for when their opportunity will come.
The governor gave the jab while featuring on a live programme to commemorate the third year anniversary of his administration, declaring that they would not be allowed to hijack the government from him like they hijacked party structures here and there.
Makinde, who expressed the confidence that the people of Oyo State would give him their mandate for another term of four years, as they know those who have their best interest at heart.
According to the governor, “anyway, we won’t allow anyone to hijack the current government under my leadership, because I also know that the people of Oyo State, at least, know those working for them. They have experienced administrations in the past and will always know what to do at the right time.
“To me, it sounds somehow to see someone preoccupied about hijacking structures of every political party he identifies with. You should know what such a personality can do if he eventually gets the mandate of the people.
“Well, what I know is, the people of Oyo State are wise; they know what they want and where they are going. They have experienced the characterisation and antecedents of desperate politicians in the past.
“I can tell you that the electorates know that those desperate politicians are thieves and they would want to give me their mandate for another four years. The people of Oyo State, at the appropriate time, will speak through their votes to those politicians,” he said.
