has accused the State Governor,  Engr Seyi Makinde of squandering over

N500 million belonging to the State on last Saturday’s campaign rally

of the People’s Democratic Party in Ondo State.

According to a statement on Monday,  by the group’s Chief Convener,

Alhaji Adekunle Lawal, Governor Makinde, Governor Makinde must be

cautioned on the need to stop wasting the resources meant for the

development of Oyo State on his desperate ambition to be Vice

Billions of Naira belonging to the people of Oyo State and came back

empty handed,  the governor will also fail in Ondo State.

the PDP alone without carrying other governors and leaders of the

party along.

close ranks so as to be able to provide credible opposition to the PDP

government of Governor Makinde,  which they described as a government

of “more talks,  no work.”
