Former Ekiti State governor Ayodele Fayose has vowed to challenge Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde politically ahead of the 2027 elections, accusing him of seizing control of the Peoples Democratic Party structure in the South West.
Speaking on Channels Television, Fayose said he would not ignore the treatment. “We will teach Makinde a political lesson. If you respect me, you will get all my values and support, but if you disrespect me, you will get the downside of Fayose. I’m not a politician that is taken for granted,” he said.
He claimed Makinde had taken over the political network he built within the PDP and criticized the governor’s reported presidential ambition. “Declaring for presidency was his undoing. He has the right to contest for president, but we don’t betray trust. Elections are not far away again. We will get there,” he said.
