Oyo kidnapping: Makinde govt orchestrated abduction to blackmail Tinubu – Fayose alleges

Former Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose, has disclosed that Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State government orchestrated the recent school kidnapping to blackmail President Bola Tinubu.

Some school children and teachers were kidnapped by unknown gunmen in some local governments in Oyo State on Friday.

Aggrieved, Tinubu despatched a high powered delegation to the affected areas who promised to ensure the safe return of the abducted school children.

However, Fayose while featuring on Channels Television’s Politics Today, said: “Let me branch to Oyo State, before you get to the president in the hierarchy of leadership and governance, there is local government, there is state, state has security votes and there are people that are supposed to be working.

“In Oyo State, I strongly believe though I might be wrong but this sometimes might be orchestrated. The governor of Oyo State had his nomination and that of his candidates in the face of this abduction.

“He did not take any action, no steps were taken, it was after those nominations that he went to the families to visit them

“I sometimes believe that the abduction at Oyo School was orchestrated by the Oyo State Government to blackmail President Tinubu.”
