Popular Ibadan based journalist, has criticised the Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, over the alleged use of the Lekan Salami Stadium, Adamasingba, Ibadan, for political activities and entertainment events.
Mr “Supreme”, Publisher of Oyomind, in a post on X, argued that the stadium, following the huge investment reportedly made by the Oyo State Government in its renovation, should be preserved primarily for sporting activities and the development of athletes in the state.
He said there was no justification for allowing the facility to be used for concerts or political gatherings within the next three years, stressing that the stadium was developed to promote sports and support athletes rather than serve as a venue for political events and entertainment.
The journalist also claimed to have sighted a request letter purportedly written by an aide to a former minister seeking approval to use the stadium for a political event or concert.
He, however, noted that Governor Makinde had previously used the same facility for a Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, “Amala Convention”, alleging that public resources were expended on the event.
Mr Suprime further blamed what he described as the “irresponsible utilisation” of the stadium by the Makinde-led administration for Shooting Stars Sports Club’s inability to use the facility for its intercontinental matches.
According to him, the situation has forced the Ibadan based Nigeria Premier Football League side to travel to Abeokuta, Ogun State, to host its home matches in continental competitions.
He called for the stadium to be strictly reserved for sporting activities, arguing that doing so would better serve the purpose for which the facility was renovated and protect the interests of athletes and sports teams in Oyo State.
