Adewale Egbedun, Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, has cautioned Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State against using the state as a tool for his 2027 presidential ambition.
Egbedun warned that lawmakers and political stakeholders in Osun State will not allow Makinde to dictate to them.
He disclosed this while addressing journalists amid the crisis surrounding the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, primary elections in Osun State.
According to Egbedun, “We were on the floor of the House when he heard that some people from Oyo State were on the floor of the House just to have what we can call a drama.
“I’m a leader of PDP, a bonafide member and I used PDP ticket to win my election in 2023, so it’s very strange to see videos of people calling themselves PDP members from Osun State, they are not PDP members.
“If Seyi Makinde is desperate to become president in 2027, he should use another state as a tool, not Osun.
“We are bona fide PDP members, and in a state where we have 25 house of assembly members, including the speaker, five house of representatives members, and a senator, we will not be dictated to by a governor from another state. We won’t take that.”
