The challenges Makinde facing ahead of Saturday election in Oyo PDP

During the presidential election, the All Progressives Congress (APC) won the state, with many alleging that the governor had worked against his party in the state and could affect his second-term ambition, which would be decided on Saturday, March 18.

Many political pundits are of the view that the outcome of the poll could affect the chances of the governor and many bigwigs, including former governor Rashidi Ladoja, dumping his camps and endorsing his strongest opponent, Teslim Folarin.

However, Wale Adeagbo, an Ibadan-born legal practitioner, posited that the work of the governor would speak for him in the poll.

What will shape Makinde's fate on Saturday

The legal luminary said:

APC recording a huge vote in Oyo is actually a knock and a sting to Governor Seyi Makinde and PDP to tighten their belts. They should prioritize being in government over personal/individual interests. They should settle their differences.
