Wasiu Olatubosun, commissioner for information in the administration of Seyi Makinde, governor of Oyo State, has said that the slogan by the opposition All Progressives Congress, APC, that Seyi Must Go is a joke taken too far.
Olatubosun, in an interview with Sunday Tribune, said that “it is a pipe dream that cannot be actualised and I will give you some reasons. In the next few weeks, you will see splinter groups moving out of APC. The opposition APC is a house built on deceit and that will be so clear by the time the issue of primaries and tickets comes up. There will be a serious volcano in APC that will disrupt whatever plan they are putting in place. They are only deceiving themselves because our target is the people of the state. We still have a firm grip with the people and no amount of propaganda that APC is bringing that we are not prepared for. Out of eight key political indicators that determine who wins the governorship election, I want to say categorically that six of those indicators are in our favour. We even have 80 per cent of the six indicators in our favour as well.”
Saying that he won’t reveal those indicators, the former council chairman said that “I won’t tell you because I don’t want them to know them. Let them continue their rabblerousing. They will meet us on election day and they know we know the game better.”
He boasted that he was sure APC won’t rule Oyo in 2023.
“By the special grace of God, I know APC will not govern Oyo State in 2023 because Seyi Makinde is coming back. They are only making a noise and like the Yoruba adage, we won’t listen to the noise because it is a distraction. If you look at the way we are going, we have started engaging the people. By the time it is fully built up, we will have a formidable force that no one can confront. Makinde is coasting home to a resounding victory again.”
