Former Deputy Governor of Oyo State, Chief Hazeem Gbolarumi, has berated Governor Seyi Makinde for allegedly neglecting those who worked for him to win governorship election in 2019.
Gbolarumi stated emphatically that he is ready to contest against the incumbent governor in 2023 and dislodge him from office.
He disclosed this in an interview with journalists on Friday at his 65th birthday celebration.
Chief Gbolarumi, who claimed to be a stable member of Peoples Democratic Party said Makinde is an ingrate and would be sent out of office in the next election.
āI believe I am qualified to contest the governorship election and definitely, I will contest and wrest power from him (Makinde) in 2023.
āThe governor there now is not a good man. We worked for him to emerge but he sidelined everybody who aided the emergence process.
āHe was put in office by the grace of God and God is ready to remove him from office nowā, he said
He said he is confident of defeating Makinde in 2023, saying those who brought him to power are against him and the voters are also not happy with him.
āWe have so many precedents that make us to be sure that we are going to dislodge him.
āWe had a collegiate party leadership in 2019 and that made it possible. So, come 2023, this governor, Seyi Makinde, is leaving,ā he affirmed.
