The speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly, Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin, has finally read the names of would-be commissioners of Governor Seyi Makinde.
Remember OYO INSIGHT had exclusively reported yesterday that Makinde has forwarded the names of his would-be commissioners to Assembly.
This is coming close to two months after he was inaugurated.
This newspaper understands that Makinde hasn’t been having it easy dealing with nomination especially as it relates to coalition parties.
Recall that the African Democratic Congress, ADC; Zenith Labour Party, ZLP; Social Democratic Party, SDP and others had endorsed Makinde of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, against Oloye Adebayo Adelabu of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
On the list are a former speaker of the state Assembly, Right Honourable Kehinde Ayoola; a former member of the Assembly, Honourable Adeniyi Farinto and former council chairman, Wasiu Olatubosun.
Some of the newly listed nominees included Mr Seun Asamu, who is the 32-year-old lawyer son of Senator Monsurat Sunmonu; Director General of Seyi Makinde Campaign Organisation, Chief Bayo Lawal; Other are Professor Daud Shangodoyin, who headed the Omituntun Initiative in Diaspora and Professor Oyewo.
Others are Mr Adeniyi Olabode Adebisi, Hon Muyiwa Jacob Ojekunle, Prof Oyewo Oyelowo, Barr. Lasunkanmi Ojeleye, Hon Funmilayo Orisadeyi, Dr Bashir Abiodun Bello and Akinola Ojo
Former governor Rashidi Ladoja’s personal lawyer, Biodun Abdulraheem, also made the list.
This newspaper also learnt some of the earlier listed names, particularly from the coalition parties, were replaced principally as a result of the clash in local government of origin/federal constituency of origin or power play within the coalition.
However, this newspaper also understands that some of the earlier listed individuals who were later dropped from the list sent to the lawmakers could either be sent in a supplementary list or be given other appointments.
