The Deputy Governor of Oyo State, Alhaji Rauf Olaniyan, has refuted reports of existing frosty relationship with his boss, Governor Seyi Makinde.
Speaking with newsmen in Ibadan, the state capital on Sunday, Olaniyan described the reports as “the handiwork of fifth columnists bent on destabilising the current administration in the state”.
He also frowned at insinuations that the state administration under Makinde had not performed to expectation.
Olaniyan said: “The administration has achieved a lot in the last year. We have achieved a lot in the areas of education, health, security, and infrastructure. We have also maintained regular payment of salaries.

“Those saying that this administration has not achieved anything in the last one year are mischief makers, who are hell-bent on distracting and destabilising the government.”
The deputy governor disclosed that that the government was doing its best to curtail further spread of the COVID-19 virus in the state.
“We have set up functional isolation centres, test centres, and upgraded some health facilities across the state.
“We have also identified the poor and most vulnerable, and distributed palliatives to them in a very modest way.
”We have tried to ensure that these palliatives get to the targeted people. The government will do even more,” he said.
