My political trajectory not complete without Ladoja’s input – Makinde

Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has said that his political trajectory cannot be completed without the former governor of the state, Oba Rasidi Adewolu Ladoja.

Makinde made this declaration on Wednesday when he paid a congratulatory visit to Ladoja who clocked 80 years today.

Ladoja is the Otun Olubadan of Ibadanland.

Makinde, while speaking at Ladoja’s residence, recalled that it was Ladoja who midwifed the process that led to his emergence as governor in 2019.

The governor, who said he and the former governor may have some political differences, insisted that the former governor still has many things to offer the state.

He said Ladoja played critical roles that led to his emergence as governor in 2019.

Makinde said, “My political trajectory cannot be complete without mentioning his name. Daddy was the one who midwifed the process that led to my emergence as governor in 2019. He played critical roles.

“We may have some political differences. When I became governor in 2019, you were the one that midwifed the process.

“And I beg you that wherever I have offended you, I have begged you. We may have some political differences.

“This is not the only thing. And sincerely, we will re-align and there will be development. Today is a special day for me. Today is a special day for one of the leading lights in Ibadanland.

“So, we thank God. A lot of people may not know this, but I feel that whenever I have the opportunity, I will say it openly. You still have a lot of roles to play, sir. So, we will continue to look forward to your leadership”.
