Building strong institutions my priority, says Governor Makinde
Governor Seyi Makinde said on Wednesday that building strong institutions that would guarantee good governance remains a priority of his administration.
Mr Makinde stated this while hosting leaders of the Muslim Ummah of South West Nigeria (MUSWEN) in Ibadan, adding that building such institutions would make the state continue to thrive.
“My administration will, therefore, not only be remembered for building infrastructure across the state but for putting in place strong institutions,” the Oyo governor said.
Mr Makinde explained that his administration’s decision to embark on massive infrastructure development was predicated on the fact that there was an infrastructure deficit in the state.
Speaking about the forthcoming Ondo governorship election, Mr Makinde rallied support for the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Agboola Ajayi.
Even though any election should not be a do-or-die affair, he urged the electoral umpire to allow the people’s votes to count.
