“The sustainable development of Oyo State 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,” said Mr Makinde.
While X-raying the achievements of his administration in the last four years, he promised to build on the developmental programmes already in place.
