Oyo Gov Makinde compares Tinubu against Buhari’s style of govt

Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State on Saturday made a comparison between the administrative style of President Bola Tinubu and that of his predecessor, Muhammadu Buhari.

He stated that it was difficult to speak the truth under Tinubu’s administration, as against what he described as a more consultative approach during the tenure of late President Muhammadu Buhari.

Makinde who spoke at a function in Ibadan the state capital, claimed it had become difficult to speak truth to power under the Tinubu administration.

The governor also slammed the Tinubu administration’s handling of the tax reform bills.

“You cannot speak truth to power in this dispensation. We had the same situation in this dispensation; it was the tax bill, and we said, ‘Look, bring the tax bill; bring it back; let us all have an opportunity to look dispassionately at it.’

“They said the tax bill will go ahead. It is an affront for even the governors to be saying what the Presidency has done to send the tax bill to the National Assembly. The tax bill, we don’t know what was passed at the National Assembly, we don’t also know what was signed up,” he said.

The event drew dignitaries including the immediate past Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, who’s style of leadership the governor said he missed.
