Akinyele to Become Richest LG in 5-10 Years – Makinde

Oyo State governor, Engineer Seyi Makinde has declared that the next five years will bring about a huge transformation in the fortunes of Akinyele Local Government Area in the state.

The governor declared that this would come to pass because of the various landmark projects and infrastructure being put up in the area.

Governor Makinde, who stated this while campaigning across the council, maintained that ongoing projects such as the Inland Dry Port, the African Development Bank’s Agro-processing Zone, the Oyo State government-initiated Ilutuntun City as well as the multifarious infrastructure projects put in place by his administration, will make Akinyele the richest local government in the state within the next five to 10 years.

A statement by the Chief Press Secretary, CPS to the governor, Mr Taiwo Adisa, on behalf of the Seyi Makinde 2023 Campaign Media Team, quoted the governor as noting that lands will become gold in Akinyele Local Government, warning traditional rulers to avoid the indiscriminate sale of lands.

The governor, who met with the leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, at the First Baptist Church, Alade, Moniya; the League of Imams, Akinyele Local Government at the Central Mosque Moniya and the traditional worshippers at the Isese Temple, Moniya, urged the religious leaders to support the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and its candidates in National Assembly, State Assembly and governorship elections.

Speaking with traditional rulers in the council, during a meeting held at the Award Hall, Akinyele Local Government Secretariat, Moniya, the governor declared that he will be ready to approve any internal reform on chieftaincy issues so far such reforms emanated from the Olubadan-in-Council.

He equally promised to review the 5 per cent allocation to traditional rulers in the state, saying that he will never work against the interest of the traditional institution.
