Oyo voters snub Seyi Makinde over unsolicited calls
The unsolicited telephone calls by the campaign team of Governor Seyi Makinde to intending voters in Oyo State has been described as a desperate measure that will not stop the Governor’s loss in the general election.
This was the assertion of the Bayo Adelabu Campaign Organisation (BACO) in a statement issued at the weekend.
According to BACO, most of the people that received the Governor’s campaign team overture outrightly rejected the call claiming that the governor did a similar thing in 2019 and since he won the election, they never heard from him again.
In one of the calls, the recipient was heard querying the teamwhere it got her number. Another recipient was also heard saying that all the promises made to them was not fulfilled and that nobody got in touch with them since after the 2019 election.
In its statement, BACO noted that the people of Oyo State have become wiser and would no longer be tricked into making the same mistake twice. “Governor Makinde has realised that he has no plank to stand on again. Everyone that worked for him in the 2019 have all left him having realised that he was not a man of his words. The alliance that made him Governor is dead while his staunch supporters in the build up to the 2019 elections have also moved on. Under the PDP administration, Oyo State has grown from bad to worse. The people of the State can no longer sleep with their two eyes closed as the security situation has become alarming. People are being robbed and killed by robbery ggans. The governor has continued to empower thugs, thus taking Oyo State gradually back to the era of arson and brigandage that had existed pre-2011 and which late Governor AbiolaAjimobi had put a stop to.”
Adelabu campaign organisation also noted that the Makindeadministration only paid lip service to education. “Today, Oyo State has dropped to the 33rd position out of 36 States in the School certificate examination ranking, this is one of the worst legacies any administration would be leaving behind, the State has never had it so worse”, BACO said in the statement.
BACO urged the people to continue to reject all efforts to trick them into voting for Makinde again. “We should vote Adelabu who has a clean record, who is brilliant and has the financial expertise to invite investment into the State. Adelabuis the only one with the financial expertise that can untangle the debt that Makinde’s administration has placed Oyo State”.
