All Progressives Congress (APC) Chieftain in Oyo State, Engineer  Oyedele Hakeem Alao has accused Governor Seyi Makinde of defeating the essence of good governance in the state
Engineer Alao in a statement issued by his Media Office on Thursday to assess the administration of Gov Makinde in 2021alleged the administration of making life difficult for the people of Oyo state with its policies. 
The APC Chieftain maintained that the Governor Makinde led administration is  initiating policies that are ridiculing the image of the pace setter state and that the recent award of the construction of 76.7 kilometres Iseyin-Fapote-Ogbomoso road for the sum of N43.1billion, showed the alleged profligate spending of the state government.
Engr Alao stated that the claim of a kilometre costing over N560 million speaks volume about the competence of the present administration in Oyo state, adding that the present administration in the state should explain to the people of the state while a kilometre of road in the state would be the highest in the country.
 “It is ridiculous that the governor who has always claimed to be meticulous in managing the resources of the state is awarding a road contract whose cost is out of this world. As an engineer, I think Governor Makinde has an explanation to make while a kilometre of a road in Oyo State should cost higher than that of Kwara State where Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, awarded the construction of  34.5Km Kishi-Kaiama road at a cost of N3.7billion”, he said.
The APC Chieftain added, ” what this means is that the governor is allegedly using the road project like others that include dualization of  6.2km Ibadan –Oyo-Iseyin/Okeho junction road at a cost of N6.1b and dualization of the 10.82 kilometres Ibadan Airport Road at a cost of N4.9b, to divert resources of the state into private pockets.”
On the education policy of  the present administration in the state, Engr Alao described the free education of the administration as a ruse and that  in the education sector, Oyo state has taken two steps backward with the policy somersault style of the present administration, saying, the failure of the policy has forced the government to go back to the School Governing Board (SGB) of late former governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, which the governor jettisoned when he came into office. 
Lamenting that with no subvention to schools in this current academic session, teachers who were grumbling in silence wrote last examination for students on school board, lamenting that virtually all the public primary and secondary schools in the state have poor infrastructural facilities that include classrooms with leaking roofs and no windows while the students carry their chair and table to school.
