A former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has advised the Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, to exercise caution while in office.
Fayose, who governed Ekiti State over two decades ago, reminded Makinde that his time in power is limited and will eventually come to an end.
He made this statement on Tuesday while speaking with journalists in Ibadan.
Fayose spoke during a visit to the residence of the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Rasidi Adewolu Ladoja, located in the Bodija area of the city.
During the interaction, Fayose alleged that Makinde had plans to dethrone the monarch. However, he emphasized that the tenure of a traditional ruler is determined by divine will and destiny, whereas a governor’s tenure is defined by the constitution.
He added that his visit to Ibadan was to show solidarity and express his support for the Olubadan.
Fayose said, “I said what I said, although it is not for this gathering. The Olubadan has an eternal tenure with God. I was once a governor at sometimes. Your tenure was tied with the constitution of Nigeria, every other tenures like the Olubadan of Ibadanland is tied with God.
“Those who are fumbling today should remember that their tenure is time bound. Olubadan, by the grace of God, you will see another governor, you will see another governor after that, you will see another governor after that and God will keep you on the throne because Ibadan needs you.
“If we have quality people on the throne, if we have quality of people in power, Ibadan will benefit a lot. I have come to identify with you. All these noise, all these bickering, they should remember, I was governor 23 years ago.
“Ignore the noise of your dogs barking in the compound, Kabiesi, you have a lot of dogs, ignore their noise. If they need you, they should contact you for advice. Let them know that I Peter Ayodele Fayose has come here to identify with you, the Olubadan of Ibadanland on the happening in Oyo State”.
