Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has said that leaders at the national level must solve the problems of Nigerians across the country and not just make lives better for only a gang in Lagos.

Makinde stated this during an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today on Tuesday.

He said, “We have to look at Nigerians. What do Nigerians want? Are they happy. Are we just playing stunt politics or are we just focusing on solving the problems facing Nigerians?

“Have we reduced hunger in the land? Are people hungry? What exactly should we be looking at in the future.

“Those are issues we have to address as leaders. Those are the things you need to look at. Politics, governance and all of these things don’t take care of themselves. Are you able to make the lives of our people better across the country not just for a section of the country; not just for, I am sorry to say, maybe a gang in Lagos.

“We want a situation where everybody in every corner in the country you must look at them once you at the national level.”

Makinde also said that he has the capacity to lead Nigeria.

He said, “I don’t have any doubt that I have the capacity to occupy the highest office in this land and I have what it takes.”

Every country has the worst of its population. The worst of Nigerians are called Agbadorians. They possibly could be the worst of the entire human species. Their leaders are who the governor is talking about

The Ronu fools we attack him now

100% correct

This man! Cunny man

“ He said, “We have to look at Nigerians. What do Nigerians want? Are they happy. Are we just playing stunt politics or are we just focusing on solving the problems facing Nigerians?”

What a sad time in history. Did Seyi ask same question as a Governor of Oyo state? Definitely not, but he wants to apply same to Nigeria.

What has he exceptionally done for the people of Oyo state? If the statement he made was his blueprint as a governor, Oyo people would have had his name tattooed on their foreheads.

People just say whatever will sell at the moment forgetting history can never be erased.

What do they want, are they happy!

Seyi should seek forgiveness from God.

Dis is not Obi who said dis....oya mqke una cry again

Seyi Makinde was among the G5 governors who alongside Wike sold this nation to the monster he is accusing today. Well, the consequences of our action always comes back to hunt us soon or even in eternity. Time is telling.

He should a small. Party and contests at least he would win Oyo

..former/present Gangs of Lagos..

You have no moral right to talk about what is happening in Lagos. Afterall Tinubu has already settled your Oga with the office of FCT Minister.

The question is pointing at one particular person .

At least a wise person spoke

But you're among the G5 that ed this disaster in 2023

Tell them.anyway I like seyi makindes quality of leadership especially in oyo state

Makinde is the no. 1 fool. He's accusing someone of what he just did himself. He became IFA and appointed Alaafin boycotting the OYOMESI.

To be fair, the people are living better than you all. Peace of mind is what it is.

Terrible president

Coming from someone that team up with Wike to work against his own party in 2023.
Yeye people

If they say Tinubu would be tribalistic in his govt, I would argue it with my last blood, having seen his appointments while he held sway in Lagos.

Whenever you surrounded yourself with people around you, think it's our time in govt, you are calling for failure, those people would never tell you truth, but yes sir at all time, you would know the extent of their damages only wen you are out of power.


Even in Yoruba land, he only surrounded himself with Lagos and Ogun boys, for them to be answering yes sir for him at all times,.......yet things are falling down every minute, despite competent people he claimed they are.

BY THE NATURE OF NIGERIA SYSTEM, IT REQUIRES, YOU GIVE APPOINTMENTS, BY MAKING IT GO ROUND ACROSS STATES AND TRIBES, IF YOU YOURSELF WANT TO ENJOY YOUR REIGN AND REALLY WANT DEVELOPMENT DURING YOUR TIME.

The lone voice in the wilderness! But it is the absolute truth

Very bold one from Gov Makinde
.

Does that stop Tinubu to do the needful?


Did he do that for the biggest beneficiary to start misbehaving?

You go cry tire

FOR THOSE THAT CAN RELATE...MAKINDE IS INDIRECTLY SAYING THAT HE HAS BEEN DENIED WORK OPPORTUNITIES SLOTS FOR NOT BELONGING TO A GANG IN LAGOS.
HE FORGOT TO KNOW THAT SHOULD B THE CASE AND A STRONG DENIAL FOR OSUN STATE AND OYO STATE FOR GOING AGAINST THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT.
HE WHO LOVES MAKINDE SHOULD INFORM HIM THAT HIS DREAM OF BECOMING FUTURE VICE PRESIDENT WILL NOT WORK BY NOT SEEKING THE UNITY OF SOUTH WEST.

Politics aside too

Mention one thing Tinubu has done that those people being packaged as alternative didn't promise to to??

One even claim he will devalue naira and start borrowing to defend it.

You can't put Politics aside,they are all playing Politics.
The aim of opposition is to snatch power,the aim of ruling party is to remain power.Non of them has us in mind

Lagos Gang like your boss NYEMO WIKE and LERE OLAYINKA,that fayose boy.

If Makinde is to seek forgiveness from God after recruiting almost 20,000 teachers in six years to improve free education access in Oyo state, then what will terrible T-Pain seek for failing in 26 years to do anything similar despite claiming to be Awolowo's type of progressive politician?

Babasessy:

The Awolowo rebirth in the Southwest has inspired gongs, songs and rhetoric of sorts. But they have missed one point.

It occurred to me in Abeokuta last week amidst the big crowds and euphoria of the swearing-in of Senator Ibikunle Amosun as governor. In all the states from Lagos to Edo, where Awo has witnessed ideological resurgence, hardly a single family member has played a role.

So we have an Awo family without an Awo. That is an irony. But history overwhelms us with this sort of twist. Obafemi Awolowo toiled for his reputation. His roots were lowly, he toiled to school both home and abroad, launched into careers in law, business, journalism and eventually politics. He carved a niche for himself, and became the first methodical and charismatic leftist in our history.  Other leftists abounded but they did not inspire comparable drama and following.

He faced tribulations, went to jail, failed in elections, won a few, but he imprinted his ideas and legacy in the country, and no single mortal has beaten him in the history of this country. His greatest achievement was in the area of ideas, and that was how he fashioned a family. Most families are born of biology but his issued from ideology. That family suffered with him.

In a spoof of Jesus Christ, these were the men who followed him in his teachings, and endured with him in his temptations. So he formed a kingdom for them in the Southwest, in the old Western Region, presiding over his projects, his legacies and people.

In all of these, the family he had was not his flesh and blood. In another spoof of Christ, who were his family anyway? Those who were with him must be counted as his family. So, I combed in the ambience of Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN), and I found none. I went to Ogun, I frisked the crowd under Amosun’s bower, hardly any. Around Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola in Osun, I could not lay a finger. With Governor Kayode Fayemi in Ekiti, where are the forbears of Awo? Yet, I can hear the chants of Awo. Hardly in any of the inaugural speeches or any of their other public intervention would you miss the philtre and filter of Awo from these gentlemen. To parody Novelist Joseph Conrad, they are the sparks from Awo’s sacred fire, the messengers of the might within the man.

Already all of them are pursuing the legacy ideas of Awo: free education, free health services, infrastructural development, urban renewal and economic engineering.

Lagos has posted itself as the John the Baptist. The others are putting up valiant efforts, and the world of course is watching to see how well they will perform. It will call for great work, resourcefulness and cooperation. They are the real Awoists, and Awo was a man of rigour and vigour.

The Awo son that many expected to take after the father was Olusegun, who unfortunately died in a car crash. We shall never know if he could have pulled it off.  But the others have not shown much of the paterfamilias’ brio and depth. In the past decade, under this republic, they have blended with the wrong crowd. Even H.I.D, hobnobbed with Alao-Akala, who brought illiteracy to governance; with Oyinlola who turned the grace of office into a hell-hole of despots; with Daniel who could not arrest his quick fall into megalomania.

I wrote once that this woman whom Awo once described as the jewel of inestimable value has lost value to his cause. If he came back to life, he would have committed the extraordinary act of divorce after death. Even his newspaper, The Tribune, has so stumbled and fallen that it swims in Awo’s vomit.
