Seyi Makinde is humble and he has good intentions but Nigeria problem and resistance to change will humble him. He should just focus on infrastructure so that he won’t be insulted and considered a failure after 2years.

Over 4 years later and we’re still waiting for your self-acclaimed Mr integrity to make public his assets but Seyi Makinde is your problem. You don’t expect everyone to be poor or lie about being poor, do you? Gov Seyi pepper them!

It’s not about wat Seyi Makinde has declared, there’s a need for the Code of Conduct Bureau to ascertain whether wat he declared is TRUE. Presumably, we know that’s not realistic & quite unsual.
So my question is “Wat has Seyi Makinde been up to that he’s worth 48billion naira?

I meet someone who Seyi Makinde worked under in hi NYSC days in SPDC today. According to him SPDC did not retain Seyi Makinde because they felt he was not good enough as a young engineer. He started his own company and employed his colleagues whom he did his

Seyi Makinde is a testament that as a young person, you need to pursue your career and really try to make it before venturing into politics. You necessarily don’t have to be a nuisance supporting and cheering all the crap sold by the Politicians on here. Think and face your life.

I hope the verification and declaration of sources of the Seyi Makinde’s 48 billion assets would be established.

His tax liability on profits made in businesses that shot his assets to that level should also be confirmed.

The guy is putting a noose on his own neck!

Pls forget Seyi Makinde and d Bravado of declaring an asset of 48 billion. He does not have that and I bet a very thorough investigation, by the asset declaration committee will find out that it is a carefully orchestrated hoax, by another political Hernan Cortes like Orji kalu.

Home boy, it’s called anticipatory declaration!! Though the guy sounds brilliant,how did he come about so much money? Who is his father? Do his tax returns reflect his worth? These are the questions. But as we know,ICPC will say they don’t have capacity yo verify all the above!!!
