The Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, disclosed on Wednesday that the state House of Assembly had cleared some of the commissioner-nominees he forwarded to the legislature for approval.
The governor said, “First, I want to thank the Almighty for keeping all of us up until this moment to witness another Sallah. About three months ago, we were all still out there campaigning and some people tried to sow the seed of division by introducing religion into the politics in the state. But thankfully, they failed as our people did not listen to them, and we have a united state.
“We are all here celebrating another Sallah. So, I use this opportunity to greet my brothers and sisters of the Islamic faith for standing by this administration and also to wish them many more Sallah celebrations. “Our people are expectant and they want us to move as fast as possible and we have started. The House of Assembly, yesterday , cleared some of our commissioner-nominees. The structure of government will start taking shape in days. So, our people should not despair or think we are moving slowly this time around. No, we are not. We will even double our pace,” he said.
Earlier, a former deputy governor and PDP Deputy National Chairman , Taofeek Arapaja, thanked the governor for empowering the people of the state and executing laudable projects.All rights reserved.
