Makinde to Announce Successor After Supreme Court Ruling
Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State is set to announce his preferred candidate for the governorship by the end of the first week of May 2024. This decision is anticipated as the political activities intensify across the state.
Makinde has been involved in extensive consultations with a wide range of stakeholders, including elders, religious leaders, and critics, to ensure that his choice garners broad acceptance. He has dismissed claims of secretly endorsing any individual for the governorship race, asserting that no candidate has been anointed despite growing speculation within political circles.
The announcement of his preferred successor is also contingent on the outcome of an impending Supreme Court ruling, which is expected to address issues that could influence the next moves of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Oyo State.
