Oyo State Governor, Engineer Seyi Makinde has assured the good people of Oyo State that the mandate given to him to serve for a second term is a means to rededicate himself for the service of the state.
Makinde said this at Oritamefa Baptist Church, Ibadan while he was appreciating Oyo State people for electing him for another four years term and promising that he would not let them down.
“The election is a motivation to rededicate myself for the service of the state” Makinde revealed.
He thanked the Christian community in the state for organizing the thanksgiving service, saying: “The work you have given to me is actually not from 2023 to 2027 because we will put Oyo State on the path to sustainable development between 2023 and 2027. But the work you have given to me is targeting 2027 and beyond.
“So, I am going to do my best in carrying the people of Oyo State along. We already have the roadmap for sustainable development.”
The Governor said the State House of Assembly would be proclaimed on Wednesday.
“From that point, we can move really fast, make the appointments and get people to start working for Oyo State. I am sure we won’t disappoint God and you.”
Earlier in his sermon, Oyo State CAN chairman, Apostle (Dr) Joshua Akinyemiju, said the gathering was to appreciate God and worship him on account of the Governor’s electoral victory.
While speaking about the Governor, the Apostle said, “Engr Seyi Makinde is a political apostle and a covenant child of God who brought accountability and probity to the governance of Oyo State.
“That governor Makinde is an assiduous, tenacious, unflinching and heterogeneous entity is not a subject of debate.
“He has a gallant and indomitable spirit to succeed in any venture he sets his hand and mind upon while relying solely on the omnipotent God. This Governor is a reformed reformer who has moved Oyo State from poverty to prosperity within a short period of time.”
He enjoined the Christian community to continue to uphold the Governor in prayers.
