    According to Folarin, who made this known when he declared his gubernatorial ambition at the state secretariat of the All Progressive Congress APC in Ibadan, the capital city of Oyo state.

    He said for many months, he decided not to comment on the day to day activities of gov. Seyi Makinde because he wanted to know how creative and productive Makinde is.

    ” All what you can see as tangible things are projects done by Makinde’s predecessors. We are resolute on changing him and he is gone already.

    ” Two weeks ago, I was here and gave a warning to Makinde and his boy Mukaila Lamidi a.k.a Auxiliary, since that day, have you seen them repeating the ugly past by beating members of our dear party APC?

    “We will use every democratic means to get him out of office come 2023. He is even gone, he said.

    At the event were Fatai Buhari Senator representing Oyo North, Kola Balogun Senator representing Oyo south who just defected to the APC, 10 out of the 11 APC house of representatives members from the state; 3 house of assembly members, aspirants, gentle men of the press and party faithful.
