Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State Governor, on Wednesday, declared that he would leave his office if people make the demand.
The governor noted that he is not bothered about the title, adding that it was the reason he vowed to take decisions in the best interest of the state and Yorubaland.
The governor made the comment at the Pan Yoruba Congress held at Mapo Hall, Ibadan.
He noted that the administration had a duty to ensure lives and property are secured, Makinde said the state will incorporate the non-state actors into the new security architecture.
In his words, “…by virtue of my office, I can see some certain things that you cannot easily see and I stand on my honour to say that I will take decisions in the best interest of my people”, he said.
What do they want to do to Seyi Makinde? As I stand before you, if I am being asked to leave the seat as the governor, I do not have a pin to go and pick in my office in the Secretariat. I go there with my bag and go back to my house with my bag.”
The governor had earlier disclosed at the last security meeting, that he created a War Room “because the issue of security is beyond rhetoric”. The governor also set up a Task Force on Security, which he chairs.
He, meanwhile, noted that local security personnel who are not in Amotekun, could be OPC or Soludero or State Vigilante as part of the voluntary policing policy.
