Be careful how you treat me, I remain governor until May 2027 — Makinde warns Oyo lawmakers

Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has cautioned lawmakers against provoking him, reminding them that he will remain in office until May 29, 2027, and could still take memorable actions before leaving government.

Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has cautioned members of the State House of Assembly over their actions towards him, reminding them that he will remain governor until May 29, 2027.

According to TheCable, Makinde made the remarks on Tuesday while presenting the state’s proposed N1.12 trillion budget for the 2027 fiscal year.

The governor, who spoke jokingly, warned lawmakers to be mindful of their conduct, stressing that his tenure would continue beyond the elections.

“Even though I will be moving to Abuja, I can still do something in this state between February and May that people will never forget.”

Makinde recalled a secondary school teacher who flogged students after claiming to have received a spiritual warning about his death.

The proposed budget earmarks N670.03 billion for capital expenditure and N445.31 billion for recurrent spending.

Addressing recent resignations by political appointees, including former Chief of Staff Segun Ogunwuyi, Makinde insisted their departures would not distract his administration from fulfilling its responsibilities.
