Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde has urged vigilance against Nigeria sliding into a one-party state, while highlighting ongoing development projects amid economic hardships.
In remarks shared with Dailyeconomy, Makinde said, “Recent developments in our national political space have once again brought this conversation to the fore, particularly the growing concern that Nigeria could gradually slide towards a one-party state if we are not vigilant.”
