‘Seyi Makinde, governor of Oyo State, has warned supporters against taking sides when leaders have misunderstanding.
Speaking at the 60th birthday reception for Femi Babalola over the weekend, the governor said all differences between him and the celebrant have become a thing of the past, noting that there is no permanent enemy in politics and that building and maintaining good relationship while in office and thereafter is important, as government would not last but relationship would exist forever.
He added that differences, whether political or otherwise are inevitable among human beings, warning, however, that political followers and party loyalists should always allow their leaders to resolve their issues naturally without taking the ownership of the misunderstanding.
You all know we had political disagreement and during that time, the thought of revoking the CofO of (JOGOR Centre) popped up, but I said no, because government will come and go but our state will remain.
“I am there today and I will leave the position one day but what will remain is the relationship we would have built. So, we can disagree temporarily.
“But for those who took ownership of the disagreement, where are they today? When leaders have disagreement, the followers should allow them to resolve their issues naturally.
“It is not possible for us not to have disagreements. When we have issues, we just have to resolve them. So, my brother and I are together.
