“In Nigeria today, Governor Seyi Makinde’s achievements are second to none. He is the rave of the moment and indeed the best governor in the current dispensation.

“As an individual, I would continue to support the Governor in whatever capacity to ensure accelerated development of our dear State.
“Our State deserves to be broken into two or three; especially we need Ibadan State because of the ever-increasing population and the growing economy under His Excellency.
“The State Government cannot do it alone and that’s why those of us who are privileged in one way or the other, must always support the Governor to succeed in the tasks ahead of him.
“I have been rehabilitating a number of roads and providing communities with transformers; the latest being a set of 500KVA and 300KVA respectively. I will do more to improve the quality of lives of our people and more importantly, to complement the Governor’s efforts in making our State a pride of all,” Sanusi added.
