Dr. Wasiu Olatubosun, the Oyo State Commissioner for Information, Culture and Tourism has disclosed that his loyalty to Governor Seyi Makinde remains intact despite falsehood from those he described as enemies of progress.
Hon. Olatubosun gave the disclosure while reacting to his alleged involvement in a purported meeting between some members of Zenith Labour party (ZLP) and All Progressive Congress (APC) on Friday.
The Information, Culture and Tourism Commissioner said he never had history with ZLP, while assuring that he would never be a part to groups working against the interest of Governor Seyi Makinde-led administration in the state.
According to Olatubosun, “I have never been in ZLP. Also, I was never an Accord party member, which metamorphosed into ZLP. So, how could I now go there to join them in their meeting? When I saw them, their leader, Barrister Sarafadeen Alli, I just waved to greet him and I left.”
Olatubosun challenged those behind the speculation to present pictures or video evidence of those who attended the meeting including his contribution so as to verify whether or not he was present.
“If truly it happened the way they have claimed, they should have pictures of those that attended the meeting, they would do the public a lot of good by releasing the pictures or videos and my contribution at the meeting.”
“I went to King FM in the morning, a station domiciled in Premier Hotel. Immediately I saw them, I rushed out and entered my car. In fact, I foresaw what happened now that they could use it against me because everybody is interested in calling Wasiu to his side. As far as I am concerned, I don’t have any history with the ZLP.
“Therefore, I remain a supporter of Governor Seyi Makinde-led administration and I am working day and night to ensure that he succeeds. I can never be a party to groups working against his interest. What matters to me is Governor Makinde’s success and I believe that the governor is the best person we can have around now and he will be there, by the grace of God, till 2027.
“My leader is Senator Monsurat Sunmonu and once she is not there, I can definitely not be there. We are resolutely committed to making sure that Governor Makinde succeeds. So, any action or any move from any quarter against Makinde, count me out. But any move to make the governor succeed, I am ready to make sacrifices on that,” Olatunbosun stated.
