Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has stated that the state’s citizens will choose his successor in 2027.

In a statement released on Saturday, Makinde made this announcement.

Dr. Sulaimon Olanrewaju, the Special Advisor to the Governor on Media, provided the statement to ZINGTIE

The governor insisted that by selecting his successor, the people of the state would choose the state’s future.

However, he stated that he will make the person he supports to succeed him as governor known to the people.

He claims that doing this will make it more likely that the state will keep moving in the direction of transformation and sustainable growth.

“So, in the midst of all these developments, many have been asking – we have two years to go. What next? How do we know the next person won’t come and remove the foundation our administration has laid and is building on.

“The truth is, it is in the hands of the people of Oyo State to chart a new path and decide their destiny. You gave me the opportunity to serve you, and so you will also decide who will serve you next.

“As I stated during the 11th Omituntun Ramadan Lecture a few days ago, sometime in 2026, I will reveal who I will be supporting for the 2027 gubernatorial elections.

“It will then be left to you, the good people of Oyo State, to say if you want that continuity,” Makinde said.
