Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde has said one of the reasons for his electoral success at the 2019 governorship election was a piece of advice he received from Alaafin of Oyo Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, during his 2015 campaign.
Gov Seyi said this at the Alaafin’s palace during a visit, before touring the multi-million naira Ajila Value Adding Ventures Limited, Awe, comprising large modern poultry farm; hatchery; palm plantation and processing plant, as well as renewable energy resources.
He said he reached out to the Alaafin in 2015 for his support and blessings, and the Alaafin told him the truth about the issue on ground, giving him a piece of advice on how to tackle it.
His words, “During my campaign in 2015, it was only the Alaafin that told me the truth on how we have been doing and how we were not doing things right.
“All he told us were put to use in the 2019 elections that gave us victory.
“We are here to inspect projects on how our economy can improve and I am sure that when we finish the project, Oyo town will also know it for good.
“The facility will help our farmers to have good storage facility for the farm produce which will moderate practices especially prices when the need arises.”
