2nd Term: Makinde vows to take Oyo on sustainability path
Gov. Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has pledged to take the state on a sustainability path during his second term in office.
Makinde made the pledge on Sunday while addressing the congregation at Christ Life Church, Olaogun, Ibadan.
Supreme reports that the governor was at the church for a Thanksgiving service as part of the activities lined up for his inauguration on Monday.
According to him, the sustainable development of Oyo State in 2023–2027 begins on Monday as there won’t be network failure in the governance of the state.
“Because it is the will of God to return for the second tenure. He (God) will make out the will for us to take Oyo State on the sustainability path,” Makinde said.
While examining the achievements of his administration in the last four years, he promised to build on the developmental programs that were already in place.
The governor assured all the state residents of his commitment to the socioeconomic development of the entire state.
He urged all men of God, ‘fathers of faith’, not to relent in praying for his government to succeed.
In his sermon, Rev. Supo Ayokunle, the former President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), urged Makinde to always seek the face of God in all his endeavors.
According to Ayokunle, God has put Gov. Makinde in charge of leading the people of the state, irrespective of the religions they worship.
He urged him to be courageous in taking decisions that would have a positive impact on the people of the state.
The founder of the church, Bishop Wale Oke, commended Makinde for providing good governance in his first tenure, urging him to build on the achievements recorded.
Oke, however, led the congregation to pray for Makinde's successful tenure as he begins the second term on Monday.
NAN also reports that the former Senate President, Sen. Adophous Wabara; a Board of Trustees member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Remi Kuku; Deputy National Chairman of the PDP, Taofeek Arapaja; Sen. Hosea Agboola; Sen. Gbenga Babalola; Speaker, Oyo State House of Assembly, Debo Adedoyin; and other political associates of the governor attended the service.
