Oyo State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde has reiterated his position not to support old people as the governorship aspirants in 2027 general elections.
He made the disclosure known today while answering questions from Journalists in an ongoing media chat.
Makinde while speaking in a media chat said, while he was struggling to become the Governor, some political gladiators in the State said he was too young for Agodi seat and against all odds he was eventually given the mandate by the people of the State.
Makinde said, “Oyo State needs a very bright mind to steer the affairs of the State to the promised land against the archaic belief that political leadership must be rotated within the circle of old folks.
“I am not going to support any candidate that is not visionary. Any candidate older than me or closer to 70 years of age should not even bother to seek my support and I am only going to support a candidate that is not too old”.
