Following the removal of the Raufu Olaniyan as deputy governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde is expected to nominate Bayo Lawal, current chairman of the state housing corporation as replacement.
Lawal, a lawyer and former commissioner under the administration of late former governor Lamidi Adesina is 76-year old.
The Kisi-born politician was the candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, in the 2019 senatorial election in Oyo North which was won by AbdulFatai Buhari of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Recall that Lawal was recently nominated as the Makinde’s running mate for the 2023 election.
