Special Adviser to Governor Seyi Makinde on Federal Constituency Matters, Hon. Dare Adeleke has hailed the just concluded local government elections in the state as a proof of Makinde’s dedication to democracy.
Adeleke in a statement said: “The success recently concluded local government elections in Oyo is proof of His Excellency, Governor Seyi Makinde ‘s continued dedication and commitment to democracy and it’s tenets.
“Unlike in the past where such elections were marked by irregularities, high handedness and even violence in some instances, what we witnessed was a hitch free, fair democratic process, all thanks to our Governor and leader of the PDP South West Zone, Engr. Makinde.” He said.
“It is also noteworthy that this is the second time that Makinde has held and supervised local government elections successfully. It is indeed only a missionary leader that can do that consecutively.”
According to Adeleke, “Makinde has never rested nor dropped the oars of leadership though he is serving his second term in office, a time when most governors tend to relax. “
“I am indeed honoured to serve under such a substantially action and goal driven government. I hereby congratulate His Excellency, Governor Seyi Makinde and the
Oyo State Independent Electoral Commission (OYSIEC) for another great electoral feat. I also congratulate Congratulate all the elected 33 council chairmen with their vice and Councillors. They should always remember to walk in the leaders shoes and adhere to all the rules of democracy in their different capacities.” Adeleke concluded.
