Oyo: I honoured 2019 coalition party agreements - Makinde

Oyo Governor Seyi Makinde said he kept the promises he made to political parties before his election in 2019.

Taiwo Adisa, his Chief Press Secretary, quoted him in a statement issued on Sunday in Ibadan, the capital.

Makinde spoke at the 85th birthday celebration of ex-Secretary to the State Government (SSG) Chief Micheal Koleosho in Ibadan's Akobo neighbourhood.

The Oyo helmsman noted that those who accused him of breaching the agreement did not have their facts.

Makinde said the claim was made in the build-up to the 2023 general elections by persons with no knowledge of the issue.

The governor described the former SSG as one of the best politicians the state had ever produced.

Makinde thanked Koleosho for supporting his administration, disclosing he was one of the leaders who facilitated the coalition arrangement.

The governor presented a new Toyota Landcruiser SUV to the celebrant and prayed God to grant him more years in good health.

Speaking, Koleosho urged the politicians to shun politics and commended Makinde for his style of leadership.
