Former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose has declared his intention to teach Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde a political lesson in the run-up to the 2027 elections. Speaking during an interview on Channels Television, Fayose accused Makinde of betraying trust and undermining the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the South West.
Fayose claimed that Makinde destroyed the South West PDP and appropriated his political structure. He warned that those who show him disrespect will face the consequences, emphasizing that he should not be taken for granted. According to Fayose, Makinde’s presidential ambition was his downfall, as he failed to remain loyal to party agreements.
In his remarks, Fayose also made a cryptic reference to deities, alleging that Makinde had stolen their land and that they would reclaim it. He stated, “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.” He added that elections are approaching and that the time for reckoning will come.
