His hotel was locked on flimsy excuses.
In yet another incident, he suffered a calamity, this month of May as rain storm and electric power surge blew off his pet project, Oodua FM (90.9FM), Ile-Ife.
The rain storm and power surge from Ibadan Distribution Company got his entire edifice housing the FM station damaged.
The newly procured transmitter to extend transmission to numerous lovers and listeners of Oodua FM got burnt by the power surge which rendered him unhappy and left the station off air for some time now.
Hon. Makinde who was a day after an elaborate empowerment of the less privilege jet out of the country is certainly not in best mood.
