Welcome His Imperial Majesty, Oba Akeem Abimbola Owoade, Alaafin of Oyo! 👑✨ Long live the Alaafin, long live Oyo Kingdom! 📸 @SlayShotit #AlaafinOfOyo #OyoKingdom #YorubaCulture

That’s my governor, your future president.

RT @Lateef_Adepoju1: I learnt so much from this man speech, and I can assure Nigerians that no Nigerian politician would have this courage…

This is what Seyi Makinde can offer the Country at large, freedom of speech, expression and protest. He will always engage people and dialogue with them, such an empathic Leader. Rare gem

You have done well as the NO 1 in Oyo State sir. Posterity will remember you for the good deeds sir. Let those playing politics with the lives of innocent people continue, God will judge everyone accordingly. God bless VDM, God bless Oyo State, and God bless Gov Seyi Makinde

Rather than dialogue with and assure the protesters, APC would have organized “Anti VDM in Oyo State” protest. That party useless gaaan!

Take your time and listen to the video, zero progress but officers are dying!

In my over 3 decades of existence, I've not seen a better Governor than Engr. Seyi Makinde. He exemplifies everything a good leader should be. What a man!

Here is one of the officers Governor Seyi Makinde mentioned, who paid the supreme sacrifice while trying to rescue the abducted Oriire teachers and schoolchildren. May the soul of Lt. Felix Ademe Isaac rest in peace. 💔

A challenging time for us in Oyo State!

Today, we met with protesters in Ibadan led by Martins Otse (VeryDarkMan). The group, who have remained peaceful, are protesting to demand the rescue of the abducted children and teachers from Oriire LGA a month and one day ago. Watch the clip of our interaction.

Throwback to 2019, when we had our first meeting with the international community for the incoming administration of HE Seyi Makinde. Over the years, this relationship with the international community has yielded support.

The worst NSA in Nigeria's history. All he is interested in is paying for PR. Military "experts" on here are the tools he uses.

This helped us develop agribusiness, health, rural roads (RAAMP ), education and social infrastructure. Sometimes when we hold these meetings people think the benefits come immediately. Most times they don't. They compound. And today, we saw another benefit of the compounding.

Seyi Makinde is a very empathetic politician, addresses problems the way they should be addressed. I have never seen him dismiss any protest taken to him, he always explains everything with transparency.

Oriire Abduction: "I can sacrifice myself for the release of the abducted children; I am almost 60 years old" — Governor Seyi Makinde addresses VeryDarkMan, protesters

We received a delegation from the European Union (EU) led by the Ambassador to Nigeria and ECOWAS, His Excellency Gautier Mignot which included Prof Leila Ben Amor Mathieu. Our discussions centred on the ongoing partnership between the EU and Oyo State. Specific areas of cooperation discussed include Climate Smart Agriculture under the Global Gateway Investment Strategy as the EU has interests in the value chain in the dairy and cocoa sectors. We also discussed ongoing collaborations on Education, Social Protection and the fight against Gender-Based Violence and future collaborations on Tourism. All in all, we had a very productive meeting and look forward to strengthening our partnerships for the benefit of our citizens. I also had a private meeting with the ambassador afterwards.
