A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Joe Igbokwe, has criticised Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde over his recent call for the United Nations to conduct an independent investigation into the abd¥ction of schoolchildren and teachers in the state.

Governor Makinde made the appeal on Monday, July 13, while receiving the rescued victims from the Nigerian military. He argued that the incident raised serious questions that deserved an independent inquiry beyond Nigeria’s domestic institutions.

Reacting to the governor’s remarks, Igbokwe took to Facebook on Tuesday, July 14, describing Makinde’s position as unnecessary and accusing him of embarrassing himself and the state.

“Come ooooo, is Governor Seyi Makinde the only wise man in Nigeria? The way he is wired worry me to the marrows.

“He has embarrassed himself, his state, his image, his status, office etc. This is reckless, a ruse and totally uncalled for.”
