Impeachment plot claims, poor script by Makinde – Oyo APC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State has vehemently refuted claims of an impeachment plot against Governor Seyi Makinde, labeling the allegations as a "badly written script" designed to distract the public and garner sympathy for the governor. The party asserts that Makinde's political future is bleak, attributing it to his perceived ego and naivety, and points to numerous alleged cases of abuse of office since May 2019.

Governor Makinde ought to have been impeached long ago if members of the State House of Assembly were alive to their responsibilities, given several alleged cases of abuse of office recorded against him since May 2019.

Olawale Sadare, the APC's Publicity Secretary, issued a statement dismissing the alleged involvement of President Bola Tinubu and other prominent figures, deeming these claims unsubstantiated. The party maintains that if the State House of Assembly members were fulfilling their responsibilities, Makinde would have been impeached long ago due to the alleged malfeasance.

Those who are still in doubt about Governor Seyi Makinde’s plot to remove the Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, should keep their fingers crossed and follow unfolding events.

This political drama unfolds amidst renewed allegations by former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose, who claims Makinde is plotting to remove the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja. Despite previous denials from the state government and the Olubadan's palace, Fayose insists that recent accusations against the monarch are part of a larger plan to justify action against him.

Governor Makinde has decided to deploy some of his loyalists to execute a poorly written script aimed at securing a soft landing in the minds of some gullible supporters, especially those who have tied their political future to his, at a time when it is increasingly clear that he may not have a political platform to sponsor candidates in the 2027 general elections.

The APC suggests that the impeachment narrative is a strategic move to mitigate the impact of Fayose's allegations regarding the Olubadan. However, the party contends that no external party is interested in impeaching a governor they believe has reached a "political dead end," especially with the 2027 general elections looming and questions about his platform's viability.

the impeachment narrative was designed to mitigate the impact of the allegations made by former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, concerning an alleged plan to dethrone the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Ladoja (Arusa I).
