Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo state has claimed that he has no godfather as far as Nigerian politics is concerned and that God is all that he has as a father.
Despite the economic and other challenges, the governor made this known while expressing gratitude to God.
Makinde’s comment came amid the rift between some Nigerian governors and their political godfathers.
These governors included Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State and his counterpart in Kaduna, Uba Sani.
Also, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano has been reported to be having a cold war with his political godfather, Rabiu Kwankwaso.
The governor recently sacked some commissioners, the Secretary to the state government and the chief of staff.
It was earlier alleged that Kwankwaso, who was instrumental to his victory, handpicked most of the governor’s appointees
