Governor Seyi Makinde

Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has said that he has nothing to lose if he ceases to be in the position.

He stated this in Ibadan on Thursday, during a meeting of Yoruba leaders over the state of the nation.

According to Makinde, it is only God he fears, not any human.

He said:

“As I stand before you, if I am being asked to leave the seat as the governor, I do not have a pin to go and pick in my office in Secretariat.

“I go there with my bag and go back to my house with my bag. I made a commitment to the people of Oyo State to serve them.

“So, I am not bothered about the position but bothered about the welfare, development and growth of Oyo State and Yorubaland in general.

“Let me tell you here today. I don’t have a political father. It was God who made me governor and not human being. I fear only God and not any human. No matter how powerful a man is, I cannot fear him.

“I contested election in 2007, 2011 and 2015 but failed and when it is time for God to make me a governor, he made me.

“If the people of the state decided that they don’t want me again, I will only take my bag and leave because I don’t have a pin in the office.”
