Oyo State Deputy Governor, Rauf Olaniyan has raised alarm over unjust and unfair treatment meted out to him by his principal, Governor Seyi Makinde.

The Deputy governor claimed to have been ignored in the running of government. Olaniyan in a PDP Elders Steering Committee report submitted to the governor, said the governor had completely reneged on the promises he made to him during the election.

He complained that Makinde only gave him few portfolios since he assumed office. Olaniyan queried why a former senator, Agboola Halleluyah, is more relevant in the government than himself who is constitutionally number two citizen of the state.

The report partly read, “Olaniyan complained bitterly about being oblivious about the running of the government. He said the governor has completely forgotten about the promises he made to him during the election.

“He said that the governor had treated him in the most unfair, unjust and the most unkind manner. He complained that the governor only gave him a few portfolios and he has not given him more since then. He also feels that Senator Agboola Halleluyah is more relevant than him in the government.”
