Makinde made this known to reporters at Fashola Farm in Ibadan on Saturday after the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) retreat.

Makinde emphasised that nobody could push his political agenda and that he would announce his intentions explicitly.

He recalled his 2019 governorship election where he was considered an outsider without political experience, but the people of Oyo State gave him a chance.

He highlighted his infrastructural projects and declared that he had created sustainable institutions and ensured good governance
