empowerment programme organised by the Senator representing Oyo

Makinde, while reacting to the threat to vote him out of office in 2023
said his disparagers lacked political relevance and the state would never
again be governed by charlatans.
Makinde said, “Let me sound this: if I will not seek re-election, I am sure
that Oyo State will never, again, be in the hands of charlatans.

”You don’t do that, it is unstatesmanly and uncharitable. You just have to
talk like a statesman that he is going to be a statement after he must
have left office”.
“You would seen the way we have been addressing him. None of us who
has been in that office before has ever said that he is not doing very well”.
“He is doing his best. The best may not be enough for the people. When it
is time for the campaign, we will campaign. But don’t use that word
‘charlatan’ it was unstatesmanly for him to have said that.”
