Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has told President Bola Tinubu government to solve the problems of Nigerians across the country and not just make lives better for only a gang in Lagos.

Makinde stated this while appearing on Channels TV Politics Today on Tuesday night.

He said, “We have to look at Nigerians. What do Nigerians want? Are they happy? Are we just playing stunt politics or are we just focusing on solving the problems facing Nigerians?

“Have we reduced hunger in the land? Are people hungry? What exactly should we be looking at in the future?

“Those are issues we have to address as leaders. Those are the things you need to look at. Politics, governance and all of these things don’t take care of themselves. Are you able to make the lives of our people better across the country not just for a section of the country; not just for, I am sorry to say, maybe a gang in Lagos?” he asked.

Makinde who had been rumoured to be under consideration by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to fly its presidential flag in 2027, clarified that he has no such ambition, insisting that he was focused on the job the people of Oyo state gave him which is to offer good governance as their governor.

He chided the ruling APC government for not making life any easier for Nigerians.
