According to him, Makinde is a very compassionate leader who wants the progress, development as well as the economic expansion of the state and works towards the realization of these without subjecting the people of the state to hardship or jeopardizing their wellbeing.
“That is all we really need in leadership and this position is supported by the Holy Qur’an.”
Alhaji Jamiu, who described the Makinde administration as people-centric, added that the governor has brought comfort to the people of Oyo State.
According to the community leader, the Makinde administration has birthed peace and progress in the state.
His words: “Since the governor’s assumption of office, the education sector has improved. There is stability in the sector now unlike the situation before his coming when schools always shut down because of the industrial actions embarked upon by teaching and non-teaching staff.”
Alhaji Jamiu, while lauding Governor Makinde for resolving the impasse that turned Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, into an institution that was perpetually under lock and key, said the governor thought out of the box to restore the school’s glory and rescue the students from the frustration occasioned by strike actions which extended their stay on campus.
The Ogbomoso Parapo chairman also praised Governor Makinde for his intervention in the health sector, adding that the administration recently recruited personnel to improve health service delivery in all parts of the state.
On the administration’s support to farmers, Alhaji Jamiu said, “The government supports farmers with money, seedlings and chemicals which have contributed in no small measure to boosting food production in the state.”
Speaking on some of the benefits derived by the Ogbomoso people from the Makinde administration, the Ogbomoso Parapo (Home) Chairman said apart from the 76.67km Iseyin-Fapote-Ogbomoso Road (known as Adebayo Alao-Akala Highway), the administration also constructed the Under G-LAUTECH Road, among others.
He added, “The government has also ensured the security of the people by providing us with Amotekun Corps. When we (Ogbomoso Parapo) were building the Amotekun Security Post, the government supported us. With that, there is peace and security in Ogbomoso. Security is critical to development and the wellbeing of any society. Because there is security in Ogbomoso, the people live in peace and we are recording steady progress.”
Alhaji Jamiu similarly applauded Governor Makinde for creating employment opportunities for the people of Oyo state.
His words: “The government has employed many people. Going by what we heard, there is no government agency into which people have not been recruited; the education sector, health, civil service. This administration has tried to touch every sector and that is okay.”
