A few days after being sworn in as the governor of Oyo State, Engineer Seyi Makinde and his wife, Tamunominini hosted their first social event as they invited their friends and a few family members to the 47th birthday of the First Lady.

The birthday party, which was initially planned to be low key with the children and a handful of aides, was later held at the Government House, Agodi as an afterthought of the governor, who felt the need to extend the invitations to friends of the family and political associates.

It was a warm gathering and a night of remarks and appreciation.
