Oyo State’s current governor, Seyi Makinde, has said that the people of the state will decide his successor.
These statements were made by the governor on Thursday during a meeting in Ibadan, the capital of the state, where stakeholders were engaged in a consultative process over the 2026 budget.
In his speech, Makinde vowed that the citizens of the state would not be swayed by empty rhetoric.

He assured the candidates running for office that the state’s voters will ask them pertinent questions.
He went on to say that the days of just letting him do it are over.
He insisted that voters will make sure candidates are asked pertinent questions.
Makinde went on to say that the federal government had tried to cast the governors in a negative light by claiming that they had more money than the average citizen.
The people of Oyo State, he added, would ultimately decide who would serve as governor in the future. Oyo State has moved beyond petty politics, thus we shall submit ourselves to the people.
It might have occurred before. Questions will now be asked of you by the people of Oyo State.
Additionally, I should mention that the federal government issued a statement attempting to cast the governors in a negative light by insinuating that they possess more financial resources. Could you tell me what purchasing power parity is? As a state, our goal in Oyo has been to make sure the government can foster an atmosphere where companies may prosper.
