Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, alongside former governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom, on Wednesday paid a condolence visit to Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde.

The Oyo governor lost his elder brother, Sunday Makinde, on January 24, 2025. The deceased was aged 65.

Wike, Ortom and others met the governor at his residence in the Ikolaba Government Reservation Area of Ibadan, the state capital.

One week ago, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors’ Forum, led by its chairman, Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi, visited Makinde to commiserate with him.

Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers and his Osun counterpart, Ademola Adeleke, were among the PDP governors in attendance.
