The Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde has announced the immediate and indefinite suspension of his campaign activities for the 2023 election.

The Governor gave the directive on Friday, 3rd February saying the move is in solidarity with the people over the hardship caused by the naira redesign policy and fuel scarcity.
