The Peoples Democratic Party House of Representatives candidate for Oyo Federal Constituency in the 2019 general elections, Prince Bayo Adeyemi in this interview with GOALPOACHER NEWS speaks on his relationship with Governor Seyi Makende.
Life goes on my brother. I didn’t regret supporting Governor Seyi Makinde. During electioneering, I moved round approaching all the Baales and canvassing votes for myself and the Governor. I pulled out of the palace to divide the votes. Didn’t PDP contest election in 2011 and 2015, what were their results in Oyo Zone? What happened in 2019?
I am an asset to the party not a liability. Most people that have been appointed couldn’t even deliver their polling units. Such is life. Now, tell me who controls the votes in Oyo Zone? Out of the four that contested, Alaafin’s sons came first and second.
What is my gain in facing my ancestral home to support the man I love dearly and the party we built from the scratch? Governor Makinde no longer speak with me but I wish him well. That’s politics and politician, life goes on.
May God never forsake me. So pathetic the situation I found myself. I am neither here nor there. With all the intimidation, harassment and embarrassment and facing the incumbent against all odds. May God spare our lives.
