Oyo State Governor ‘Seyi Makinde yesterday said the next five years would bring about a huge transformation in the fortune of Akinyele Local Government.
He said his claim would come to pass because of the landmark projects and infrastructure being put up in the area.
The governor, who spoke while campaigning across the council, said ongoing projects such as the Inland Dry Port, African Development Bank’s Agroprocessing Zone, Oyo State Government-initiated Ilutuntun City as well as the multifarious infrastructure projects put in place by his administration would make Akinyele the richest local government in the state in the next five to 10 years.
A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Mr. Taiwo Adisa, on behalf of Seyi Makinde 2023 Campaign Media Team, quoted the governor as noting that land would become gold in Akinyele Local Government, warning monarchs to avoid indiscriminate sale of land.
The governor, who met with the leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) at First Baptist Church, Alade, Moniya; the League of Imams, Akinyele Local Government, at the Central Mosque Moniya and the traditional worshippers at Isese Temple, Moniya, urged religious leaders to support the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidates in National Assembly, state assembly and governorship elections.
