A former leader of the House of Representatives, Mulikat Akande Adeola, has apologized for supporting Seyi Makinde, governor of Oyo State, in the build up to the 2019 election.
Adeola, who represented Ogbomoso North/Ogbomoso South/Oriire federal constituency between 2007 and 2015, is speaking on Fresh 105.9 FM’s Political Circuit anchored by Mayor Isaac Brown.
She said Sen. Ayoade Adeseun and others had better chances than Makinde in the build up to the 2019 election, adding that she was instrumental to how the governor got the ticket.
Complaining about being used and dumped, the lawyer cum politician said she has regretted her actions and “if the opportunity presents itself again, I will do things differently.”
“I have met our leader, Chief Rashidi Ladoja once after the election and I knew what he told me. He is not happy with me. There are many others in Baba’s shoes. I was blinded by love for PDP. It was nothing personal.
”Even if the closest person tells Governor Makinde to ignore me. He should say I have heard and when he is alone, he should know that I am not the kind of person. Before and after the election, he knows how to reach me, especially in my Abuja house. I am not someone to control anybody. I heard Sen. Ayoade Adeseun that it served us right, that we got what we bargained for. “
