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.”
