2027: We’ll teach Makinde political lesson – Fayose
Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has said Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, will face political opposition ahead of future elections, accusing him of contributing to divisions within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the South-West.
Fayose made the remarks during an interview on Channels Television, where he spoke about internal party politics and his relationship with the Oyo governor.
According to Fayose, political relationships should be built on mutual respect and fairness.
“We will teach Makinde a political lesson. If you respect me, you will get all my values and support, but if you disrespect me, you will get the downside of Fayose. I’m not a politician that is taken for granted,” he said.
The former governor accused Makinde of weakening the PDP structure in the South-West and taking control of political networks previously aligned with him.
“Makinde destroyed the South West Peoples Democratic Party and took my structure. When we are in politics, we are meant to be fair,” Fayose stated.
He also suggested that Makinde’s reported presidential ambition affected political relationships within the party.
“Declaring for presidency was his undoing. He has the right to contest for president but we don’t betray trust. Elections are not far away again. We will get there,” he added.
Fayose further made symbolic references to disputed land associated with traditional beliefs, claiming that such actions would eventually face consequences.
As of the time of filing this report, Governor Makinde had not publicly responded to Fayose’s remarks.
