Seyi Makinde, the governor of Oyo State, has made a modest change to his cabinet that would affect two commissioners.
As seen by InsightnaijaTV, Governor Makinde gave the two impacted Commissioners new responsibilities.
In Ibadan, at the Executive Council meeting held in the Governor’s Office’s Executive Chamber, the reorganization was announced.
Barrister Olasunkanmi Olaleye was transferred to the Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs by the Governor, according to a statement to that effect made available to our newsroom on Tuesday and signed by the Commissioner for Information, Culture and Tourism, Dr. Wasiu Olatubosun. Hon. Bayo Lawal will be in charge of the Ministry of Trades, Industry, Investment, and Cooperatives.
The Deputy Governor of Oyo State, Barr. Bayo Lawal, attended the meeting on Tuesday because it was his first executive council meeting after being sworn in.
Olubamiwo Adeosun, the secretary to the state government, Segun Ogunwuyi, the governor’s chief of staff, and others were also there.
The All Progressives Congress (APC), the main opposition group in Oyo State, has stated that Governor Seyi Makinde does not deserve to be re-elected for a second term in office in 2023.
In a statement acquired by InsightnaijaTV on Monday, the APC said that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had failed miserably in the state and that giving them another chance to govern would result in severe insecurity.
Alhaji Tajudeen Olanite, the state’s APC state secretary, claimed in a statement that the PDP wants to stifle opposition and make Oyo a one-party state.
It claimed that because the PDP is aware of their abject failure and lack of anything beneficial to offer the state’s good citizens, the Makinde administration has grown too intolerable of opposition in the state.
Olanite charged Governor Makinde with utilizing state resources to support thugs who have been implicated in the deaths of certain residents of the state.
