Gubernatorial candidate of the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) in the 2019 general elections in Oyo state, Chief Sharafadeen Abiodun Alli has said that Governor Seyi Makinde of the state has failed to fulfil the promise he made to the party before the election.
Recall that Alli, Senator Olufemi Lanlehin of African Democratic Congress (ADC) and Chief Bolaji Ayorinde of Social Democratic Party (SDP) jettitioned their respective ambitions to support Makinde in the March 9th gubernatorial election which saw him (Makinde) winning the election to defeat Chief Adebayo Adelabu of All Progressives Congress (APC).
The trio were persuaded by a former Governor of the state, Senator Rasidi Ladoja to jettisoned their ambitions in a bid to defeat APC.
It was gathered that during the merger which Ied to Makinde’s endorsement as the sole candidate, some agreements were reached with the trio and others who worked for the Governor’s success in the election.
It was however learnt that a year after the agreements were reached, Makinde has not fulfil the promise made to ZLP.
One of those who agreed to work for Makinde, Alli alleged that up till now, Makinde has not fulfil the promise he made to ZLP.
The former Secretary to Oyo State government while reacting to some statements credited to one of the Governor’s aide, Babatunde Oduyoye insisted that most of the assertions made by Oduyoye are not correct especially as it affects ZLP.
Alli noted that Makinde promised 2 slots for the party and 1 for Senator Ladoja, but one year after the promise was made Makinde has not fulfil the promise made to the party.
He further revealed that ZLP was promised two commissioners ship slots and two Special advisers of which none was fulfilled up till now.
