Oyo governor Seyi Makinde has affirmed that he will be reelected for second term in 2023 election because he has demonstrated unflinching commitment to serving the people of the state since he assumed office in 2019.
Makinde who stated this in a New Year message issued in Ibadan on Sunday by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Taiwo Adisa said his administration had been able to place the state on the path of sustainable development.
The Governor who expressed gratitude to the people of the state for the privilege given to him to serve them, added that the last three years and seven months was a testament of his administration’s commitment to serving them.
He noted that his administration did not take the support given to it by the people of the state for granted, saying his government had focused on infrastructural development while, at the same time, meeting other obligations.
Makinde reeled out some of the successes recorded by his government in different sectors, including infrastructural development, health, education, security and economic expansion, among others.
The governor said: “My good people of Oyo State, as the end of my first tenure as your governor draws closer, I must express my deepest gratitude to you for the privilege to serve you.
“I do not take for granted the support you have given our administration through the years.
“Without your mandate and support, we would not have succeeded in placing our dear state on the path of sustainable development.
“All the work we did under the Roadmap to Accelerated Development in Oyo State, 2019-2023, were leading up to this moment.
“The past 43 months are a testament to our commitment to serving our people. We have shown our people that it is possible to focus on infrastructural development while, at the same time, meeting our other obligations to them.
“Every year, when I write to you at this time, I recap our activities for the year and show you how we have acted like the faithful servant who increased his master’s talent,” he said. (NAN) )
