The Governor of Oyo State Seyi Makinde has offered his candid advice to the electorate in Nigeria ahead of the 2023 general elections.
Governor Makinde who gave his counsel while attending the wedding ceremony of Ayo Fayose’s son asked Nigerians not to die for politicians.
The Oyo state Governor months ago had a face-off with the former Governor of Ekiti state over the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party in the South-West region, said that people who want to die because of politicians, should be careful.
Makinde said; “If you look at the former governors in Ekiti State – Governor Segun Oni, Governor Ayo Fayose and the incumbent Governor Kayode Fayemi, they have governed the state at one time or the other but they were not in the same party. So, those of you who want to die because of us politicians, be careful.
“Politics is not something that should cause anybody to lose his or her life. We are moving towards the electioneering period, and I just want to use this opportunity to appeal to you all.
“If you also look at this marriage, the bride and groom are from Christian and Muslim families.
“So, people who also want to always fight on religious grounds should have a rethink,” Governor Makinde added.
