Oyo State Governor, Engineer Seyi Makinde has begged the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike not to set Oyo State on fire.
Wike, at a function, threatened to cause a political crisis in the states of any governor on the platform of the PDP backing the Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara in the state.

Makinde, during the Ijaw World Congress reception in Port Harcourt, on Saturday, organized for Wike, begged the FCT minister not to βPut fire in Oyo state.
Makinde praised the former governor of Rivers over the stateβs infrastructure, saying the FCT minister has done well for his people.
According to him, β I came to Oyo to identify with my brother and the celebrant of today(Nyesome Wike). When I showed up in Rivers yesterday (Friday) I told him that I brought a peace offering because he has been boasting that he would put fire in some states. I told him please, donβt set fire in Oyo State.
βLet me say on behalf of other governor colleagues and past governors here that you have done well for your people and since I came I have seen projects that were done during your eight years tenure as governor.β
