 “Governor Seyi Makinde is not just a leader — he is a teacher, a talk-and-do Governor who always fulfills his promises. His achievements speak louder than words, from massive infrastructural development to youth empowerment, from TESCOM and SUBEB recruitments to life-changing social programs. He remains a blessing to Oyo State and a pride to Ogbomosoland, Ogunlade stated. 

The chairman further highlighted Governor Makinde’s steadfast commitment to party unity and internal democracy, noting that the governor has proven to be a true party faithful.

George added. “The governor’s maturity and inclusiveness have strengthened our great party and laid a solid foundation for the forthcoming convention, which already promises to be a resounding success.”

“From the ward to the state level, everything went peacefully. Governor Makinde’s calm leadership and fairness ensured unity within the party. His strategic guidance and humility have made it clear that the coming convention will be a great success even before it begins,” he noted.

The Ogbomoso North chairman equally lauded Governor Makinde’s resounding victory in the last general election — the first landslide win of its kind in Oyo State’s political history — describing it as a reflection of the people’s confidence in his visionary governance.

 “Which of his achievements can we even single out?” he continued. “Is it the empowerment of our youths, his unprecedented support for persons with disabilities, or the massive infrastructural transformation across all zones of the state? Governor Makinde has redefined governance with sincerity, capacity, and compassion.”

Hon. George concluded by reaffirming the unwavering loyalty of Ogbomoso North to Governor Makinde’s administration, stressing that the people of Ogbomosoland remain firmly committed to supporting his visionary leadership beyond 2027.
