But the APC national spokesman, Felix Morka, faulted the governor for the remark, labelling it as “disgraceful”. “So, for a sitting governor, who constitutionally is actually the chief security officer of Oyo State, to bandy around this threat, that is really disgraceful. I think Governor Makinde should be ashamed of himself, quite frankly, because it’s wrong for him to do that,” Morka said on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics. “People in leadership bear exceptional responsibility to speak with restraint, with decorum, and with some sensibility. You don’t sit there as governor, wield enormous authority, and incite people who are beneath you to violence. That is not democratic. That is completely anti-democratic.” Advertisement googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1672569913499-0"); }); More to follow… Join Our Whatsapp Channel To join: Simply click on the link below & turn on notifications to get the latest updates Subscribe to Our Newsletter In This Article: APC Seyi Makinde More Stories Hamzat, APC Leaders Consult Gbajabiamila Ahead Of 2027 Governorship Election Ekiti 2026: APC Names Gov Sani Campaign Council Chairman 2027: Atiku, Obi, Makinde, Others Back Move To Support Single Candidate Against Tinubu /* * * CONFIGURATION VARIABLES: EDIT BEFORE PASTING INTO YOUR WEBPAGE * * / var disqus_shortname = 'channelstelevision'; // Required - Replace example with your forum shortname / * * DON'T EDIT BELOW THIS LINE * * */ (function() { var dsq = document.createElement('script'); dsq.type = 'text/javascript'; dsq.async = true; dsq.src = '//' + disqus_shortname + '.disqus.com/embed.js'; (document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] || document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]).appendChild(dsq); })(); Please enable JavaScript to view the comments powered by Disqus.
