Yes. South West Governors cheated Oyo. Pure and simple. No explanation or rationalization will suffice at this point.
The Southwest unity list is a disunity list. Just take a look at the key positions and see who got what. Oyo got the worst deal. The authors of the list chose to dump Oyo state and left it with crumbs of positions. Does Oyo deserve this treatment simply because it has no governor? Why did the party and the southwest governors depart from the precedent? When Ekiti had no governor, it got some decent treatment. This time it is Oyo and fairness and justice is thrown out of the window. Oyo did not sit idly by and allow itself to be shortchanged. We know that very top APC members from Oyo state in this government made contacts and spirited efforts to secure key positions for Oyo. All failed because some people were bent on enlightened self interest. It fell on deaf ears. Not even the pleas and the intervention made by one of our Babas who was a founding member could make the governors give Oyo a better deal. No.
Pray who did the south west governors consult from Oyo before a final list was compiled! Why is it that no one signed for Oyo? Oyo we know has a minister and lawmakers. Were they carried along or just an individual who has other motives was contacted? Just take a look at the spoils of the other south west states and what Oyo was given—peanuts, inconsequential and demeaning positions. National disability position for Oyo stinks to high heavens deputy national auditor and another ordinary position.
At last, we now know that some forces want Oyo APC dead or weakened to enable them implement their agenda.
I personally reject the south west disunity list. Oyo was dealt a bad card. Oyo deserves better.
Oyo. See for yourself what disunity at home can cost. Three years after Oyo APC failed to win the governorship seat, Oyo is now just a bye-pass. Oyo is on that journey again because a few individuals are riding roughshod over the majority. May calamity not strike twice !!!
