Oyo State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde, on Friday, described reports that there is a rift between him and his deputy, Engr. Rauf Olaniyan, as fabrication of disgruntled elements.
Speaking at the 2020 workers’ day celebration, held at the state headquarters of the Nigeria Labour Congress in Ibadan, Makinde said contrary to reports that there is a rift between himself, his deputy and other cabinet members, they have cordial relationships.
He said: “I have seen in the past weeks some articles which have attempted to divide us. They have insinuated rift within our cabinet and have tried to make it look like we are not united in this battle to restore the economic health of our great state.
“I want to assure the good people of Oyo State that these are just disgruntled people clutching at straws. The entire cabinet will continue to work with the labour movement, with the people of Oyo State to ensure the state attains its rightful place in Nigeria.”
