IBADAN TRADITIONAL COUNCIL BLAMES GOVERNOR FOR WORSENING INSECURITY

The Ibadan Traditional Council has pointed accusing fingers at Oyo state governor, Seyi Makinde blaming him for worsening insecurity in Oyo State and have also used the medium to urge him to change tactics before it gets too late.

The council gave its advice at a meeting held at the palace of the Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba Saliu Adetunji.

The council comprises of members of the Olubadan-in-Council, other monarchs in Ibadan land and family heads known as Mogajis.

Taking turns to speak on the growing security crisis in the State, the council members accused Makinde of running a one-man administration, which they insisted was hurting security.

They posited that a one-man management cannot work in securing the State.

According to them, several attempts to meet the Governor and explain why his style was failing the State were unsuccessful, accusing Makinde of having poor respect for them.

They explained they were excluded in the security architecture despite the fact that they are closer to the people in all the communities.

The Otun Olubadan of Ibadanland, Sen. Lekan Balogun, further called on Engr. Seyi Makinde to change his approach.
