Governor Seyi Makinde Criticizes President Bola Tinubu's Government Over Policy Disagreements

Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State openly criticizes the government led by President Bola Tinubu, expressing concerns about the challenging environment for leaders to voice dissenting opinions. Makinde specifically points out his disagreement with the Tinubu administration's policies, such as a new tax law.

He contrasts his consultative approach with that of former President Muhammadu Buhari. Makinde made these remarks during a celebration in Ibadan, attended by dignitaries including Professor Yemi Osinbajo.

The governor praised Osinbajo's leadership style and highlighted the need for significant changes in governance at the national level. Makinde also recalled a key moment during the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020 when Osinbajo's intervention helped shape decisions that prevented a complete lockdown in Oyo State.
