The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, on Wednesday, played host to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, alongside former Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom.

Naija News reports that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftains paid a condolence visit to the Oyo State Governor following the demise of his elder brother, Sunday Makinde.

Recall that Sunday Makinde passed away at age 65 on Friday, January 24, 2025.

Other dignitaries who visited the Oyo Governor include former Governor Okezie Ikpeazu as well as Senators Sandy Onor, Philip Aduda, Olaka Nwogu and Mao Ohuabunwa, Rt. Hon Chibudom Nwuche and others.

Meanwhile, former governor of Edo State, Adams Oshimhole, has said the impeachment saga across local governments in Edo State under the leadership of the People Democratic Party (PDP) should not be blamed on the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Naija News reports that Senator Oshiomhole said Governor Monday Okpebholo would have intervened to solve the problem but PDP did not want the Governor’s interference.

In an interview with Arise News on Tuesday, the Edo North Senator said the PDP continued to deceive Nigerians.

“What do you expect PDP to do? People deceiving people. They are living up to their name. People deceiving people. I have popularized it when I was campaigning. People deceiving people. Papa deceiving Pikin, and now Pikin is deceiving Nigerians.

“If councilors under the constitution meet in full freedom and they raise the motion for whatever reason on the planet, in the exercise of their constitutional duty as provided for in Edo State Local Government Act or the relevant Section of the Constitution and they impeach in part or in whole.

“How is that a problem? Is there a vacuum? Ask the PDP who are the councilors impeaching their chairmen. They are PDP councillors. The chairmen being impeached, they are PDP. The person who becomes active chairman as a result of impeachment is still PDP.

“How does the APC come in? Just tell me how the APC comes in. Now, if the Governor wants to say, stop, they would say he shouldn’t interfere. So the Governor cannot stop councilors, particularly opposition councillors, from a PDP opposition chairman, and replacing them with their own opposition house leader as the acting chair. So what is the problem there? Truly a case of people deceiving people,” he said.
