JUST IN: Governor Makinde Reacts to Impeachment Rumours, Says He Still Has “Over a Year” in Office
As political tension continues within the Oyo State House of Assembly over alleged impeachment moves, Governor Seyi Makinde has finally broken his silence, addressing the growing speculation with a mix of confidence and calm defiance.
Speaking during the inauguration of committees for the state’s long-term tourism development plan and preparations for the International Tourism Summit 2026, the governor dismissed the anxiety surrounding his tenure, noting that his administration still has “about one year and one month” to continue in office “if I am not impeached by then.”
The remark, delivered in passing but widely interpreted as a response to recent political undercurrents, immediately drew attention across the state’s political landscape.
Governor Makinde, who is leading efforts to design a 25-year tourism and investment roadmap for Oyo State, used the occasion to redirect focus toward governance and long-term planning.
He stressed that his administration remains committed to building durable systems capable of attracting investors and positioning the state as a competitive global destination.
According to him, sustainable development requires continuity, structure, and deliberate policy direction, warning against distractions that could derail ongoing reforms and strategic economic initiatives.
Despite the impeachment rumblings in the background, Makinde maintained a composed tone, framing his administration’s priorities around legacy projects rather than political disputes. His comments effectively shifted attention back to governance, even as the political atmosphere within the Assembly remains closely watched.
For now, the governor’s remarks signal confidence amid uncertainty, as Oyo State’s political discourse continues to oscillate between legislative tension and development-focused policy drives.
