Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has ruled that former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose has issue with his mental health.
The governor’s diagnosis follows Fayose’s claim that Makinde may have hands in the current abduction of pupils and teachers in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State.
“He did not take any action; no steps were taken. It was after those nominations that he went to the families to visit them.
“I sometimes believe that this [the abduction at Oyo School] was orchestrated in a way, I am not saying totally, by the government of Oyo State to blackmail President Tinubu,” Fayose said in an interview he granted Channels Television.
In response via the Commissioner for Information, Prince Dotun Oyelade, the Oyo governor called on Nigerians to pray for the ex-governor.
Refuting the claim, Oyelade said the allegation shocked Makinde who according to the rebuttal was focused on addressing the kidnap issue and had no time to exchange banter with a deranged mind.
“Governor Makinde is too preoccupied with finding a solution to the challenges posed by the kidnappers of children and teachers in the state to engage someone whose lifestyle and comportment have been suspect over a long time,” Oyelade said.
He added that: “for a former governor to be so consumed by the politics of vindictiveness, vileness, deceit and hate, that he would further endanger the lives of those in captivity and distract security agents from handling this delicate job, smacks of one who has lost his mind.”
