From Oluseye Ojo, Ibadan
An Associate Professor in Political Science, Dr. Aaron Ola Ogundiwin, who has been a university lecturer for close to 20 years, has said the incumbent governor of the state, Seyi Makinde, would win the forthcoming governorship election because he has impacted different classes of people in the state positively.
Some political observers have predicted that the governorship race in the state would be a straight fight among Governor Seyi Makinde of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Teslim Folarin of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Chief Adebayo Adelabu of Accord party.
But Ogundiwin, who hails from Ita-Bale, Olugbode, Ibadan, in this interview, stated: “Indigenes and non-indigenes of the state and those from other countries in Africa can see that three horses are not running anywhere. It is only one horse that is running to 2023 to 2027; that horse is healthy, that horse is not tired; that horse is from the strongest breed and that individual is Governor Oluseyi Makinde.
“One question you need to ask those horses that I cannot see is who is challenging them? Is he saying they shouldn’t wait until after 2027? Or is there anything that he is not doing right that they want to correct?
