Ilésanmí David Oluwole – You always in shock…you are never a proactive governor….what you know best is to borrow money and do eye service projects …leaving people in urban area to their mess..what is the meaning of the amotekun you created ??? They are now following you guys up and down forgetting the purposes of its creation…
Ola Isaac Ayoku – During your campaing as Governor you did not tell the people of OYO state that you we allowed killers to come and be killing them please tell the commissioner of police in oyo to arest does who kill our brethering in the state.
Muniru Oyekunle – Mr.Governor sir take necessary action in time.Don’t waste the lives and properties of your people before it’s too late because you’re the Chief security of oyo state if the Security operatives can’t handle the matter well because there are problems already in Nigeria right now.pls organize the local security to secure people with Amotekun boys too, Don’t use the lives of the people to play politics this time around
Solarin Olusegun – GSM ,you’re not being serious about the Fulani herdsmen issue in Oyo state otherwise you won’t be calling police for Fulani herdsmen attack ,rather you call Amotekun and arm them.How many herdsmen has police arrested and prosecuted since they started .Please it is either you stay away or you do the needful.
Emperor Olanshile – You’re a failure man….
Elijah Sunkanmi – Nonsense talk from your excellency like you don’t know there will be a reprisal attack, this is one of the reasons why non state actors gain prominence such kanu, igboho. Fact is you’re just paying lip service to securing your state, obviously you’re overrated.
Aderoju Teslim Àjọṣe – If any of your family members were killed like this, would u remain calm? I think u are a useless and nonchalant governor. Go and learn from ur colleagues like Ondo and Benue state government, I don’t think u value the lives of ur people. And in fact, curtsey and respect demands you visit them immediately this morning. Sorry, you are just an opportunist not worthy to be a leader.
Adesina Asa Culture – Dear seyi makinde
Forget about quality education, infrastructure and employment opportunity for Ibarapa indigen, our life are very important. Secure our lives for us. We demand justice for spate killing and kidnapping in Ibarapa zone of Oyo State.
Adetayo Idris Koboro – Ogun kill you and your generation’s for telling the Residents of Ibarapa to calm down…which security operatives that’s on ground you’re the most foolish man i ever seen in my life shame on you and your followers idiot
Ololade Epekunmi Jp – Seyi makinde I didnt know what to say for now. Because all what happen in ibarapa now . You cause it because you change it to politics. Do you think police can handle this people . Those OPC that work there you nail them . God will judge you and your government also.
Ọba Mathew Gcfr – Governor Seyi Makinde believes in paying condolences to the bereaved with huge money as compensation😆
