The Oyo State Government has assured political stakeholders from the Ogbomoso Zone of the state that it would continue to run an all-inclusive government.
The Deputy Governor, Abdulroheem Bayo Lawal, disclosed this, on Tuesday, when stakeholders, including appointees of Governor Seyi Makinde, local government chairmen and National Assembly candidates from the Ogbomoso Zone of the state, paid him a courtesy visit in his office at the State Secretariat, Agodi, Ibadan.
Lawal declared that the government of Governor Makinde would continue to be fair to all zones of the state, urging the stakeholders to rest assured of his (Lawal’s) commitment to fairness, equity and good governance at all times.
The Deputy Governor, who said he could conveniently claim to be an Ogbomoso indigene, expressed happiness over the congratulatory visit paid to his office by critical stakeholders from the Ogbomoso Zone.
