“Even if nobody is held accountable elsewhere, in Oyo State, the rule of law will prevail.” – Governor Seyi Makinde on Ibadan stampede.
“Quite a number of people have been reaching out to me, saying, ‘Oh, this incident happened in Anambra State.
It also occurred in the FCT. Nobody went to jail. Why is it that in Oyo State, some people are going to jail?’ I said, ‘Well, Oyo State is not Anambra State, and no matter how highly placed, justice must be done.
The judiciary is here; it’s in their court. If you think you can grant bail pending trial, I have nothing against it. But for the trial, the people must go on trial.” – Governor Seyi Makinde on Ibadan stampede.
