The governor who disclosed this when he paid a congratulatory visit to Ladoja who clocked 80 years on Wednesday at his Ondo Street, Bodija in Ibadan, noted that his political trajectory cannot be completed without the former governor.

Makinde added that he and the former governor might have some political differences, but insisted that the former governor still had many things to offer the state.

He emphasised that Oba Ladoja played critical roles that led to his emergence as governor in 2019, saying, “My political trajectory cannot complete without mentioning his name.

“Daddy was the one that midwifed the process that led to my emergence as governor in 2019. He played critical roles. We may have some political differences. When I became governor in 2019, you were the one that midwifed the process.
