Governor of Oyo State and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) standard-bearer in the March 11, 2023 governorship election, ‘Seyi Makinde, has said that his administration has been taking decisions based on solid economic principles, noting that it is most particular about strengthening the economy of Saki to enable it to lift the economies of Old Ifedapo and Old Irepo Federal Constituencies.
The governor stated this yesterday while addressing the Okere-in-Council at the palace of the Okere of Saki, Oba Khalid Olabisi, noting that the government’s decision to fix the Saki-Ogbooro-Igboho Road was hinged on the determination to boost the economy of Saki and adjoining local government areas.
Makinde, who appreciated the Okere of Saki, the Saki Parapo and religious bodies in Saki West Local Government for their support over the years, said: “We have said that the development of our infrastructure will haunt our economy. What I am most particular about is for Saki’s economy to lift the entire economy of the whole Ifedapo and Irepo.
“So, we will take it in order of priority. We have started phase 1 of Saki-Ogboro-Igboho and by the grace of God, it will get to Igboho before the end of this year. Before the end of this tenure, it would have gotten to Ogbooro, and then, we will do phase two, which is Igboho to Kishi and Igboho to Igbeti.
Earlier, the Okere of Saki, Oba Olabisi, appreciated the governor for everything he has done for Sakiland, noting that his people will support the governor in appreciation for everything he has done for the community.
