MAKINDE LAUGHS OFF IMPEACHMENT BUZZ: “THAT IS IF I AM NOT IMPEACHED THEN”
GREATRIBUNETVNEWS–OYO STATE Governor Seyi Makinde finally addresses viral impeachment rumors with a joke while commissioning tourism committees ahead of the 2026 summit.
Key Issues:
– Impeachment Rumors Surface: Speculation began early Tuesday, April 14, 2026, alleging ex-First Lady Florence Ajimobi met with Speaker Adebowale Ogundoyin over a plot to remove Governor Makinde.
– Makinde Breaks Silence: The governor responded publicly during Thursday’s inauguration of key committees for Oyo’s long-term tourism development and International Tourism Summit 2026 prep.
– Jokes About Tenure: Downplaying the rumors, Makinde said his administration ends in one year and one month, then quipped, _”Well, that is if I am not impeached then.”_
– Context of Event: Comments came while driving tourism plans, signaling business-as-usual despite the political chatter.
Speaking further, he said, “Today, we inaugurated two committees, the Organising Committee for the International Tourism Summit Oyo State 2026 (#ITSOyoState2026) which will hold next month 12-14 May 2026.
“The 25-Year Tourism Master Plan Committee, a forward-looking committee to create a master plan that will guide decisions, shape investments, and outlive administrations in Oyo State.
“As I said in my remarks, this is serious work and will require active participation and my expectation is that members of both committees will put in their best to make these projects work for the good people of Oyo State.”
