Fayose Accuses Makinde of Turning into Opposition Mouthpiece Against President

Former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose has accused Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde of transforming into an opposition mouthpiece against the President. Fayose alleges that Makinde's recent criticism of Bola Tinubu and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo during a birthday event indicates his shift towards opposition politics.

Makinde reportedly condemned a new tax law and expressed dissatisfaction with the previous administration's leadership. Fayose claims that Makinde's comments against the President confirm his intention to distance himself from the ruling party.

Additionally, Fayose alleges that during a meeting with Tinubu, Makinde realized that reconciliation with the President was no longer feasible. Fayose further asserts that Tinubu made it clear that Makinde should focus on his party's support for the 2023 elections.

This development highlights a rift between Makinde and the President, potentially impacting political dynamics in Oyo State.
