Alaafin Visits, Extols Makinde …Seeks Installation Of CCTV Cameras Along Fiditi- Oyo Road
The Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Abimbola Àkeem Owoade 1, has extolled the virtues of Governor Makinde of Oyo State, describing him as “a man with an objective bent of mind, who is extremely curious and always on the quest for truth.”
A release issued by the Director of Media and Publicity to the Alaafin, Bode Durojaiye, said the monarch made the remark at the weekend when he paid a courtesy visit to the governor at his Ikolaba residence in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
Oba Owoade who was accompanied by his wife, Ayaba Abiwunmi, noted that whilst remaining faithful to personal principles, the Governor is “ever ready to succumb to superior argument if logic and evidence are compelling enough.”
According to him, “Gov. Makinde is deeply a passionate person. He believes in the cause that he espouses. He is passionate about the cause of emancipation of his people.”
Alaafin Owoade lauded Governor Makinde for his steadfastness and sense of commitment to the well-being of the people of the Pacesetter State.
He told the Governor that he would not relent in building trust among the people by showing authentic concern for their well-being and by acknowledging their strengths, challenges, and aspirations.
Said he, “I will not only ensure open and transparent communication, but prioritize clear, honest, and consistent communication with the people. This open communication will further cultivate a sense of shared responsibility and trust within the people.
“When leaders genuinely care about their people, they create an environment where trust can flourish, leading to stronger relationships, improved performance, and long-term success.”
Alaafin, who called for the installation of CCTV cameras along the road leading to Oyo and Fiditi Towns, told the Governor that CCTV cameras had been installed between Ibadan and Fiditi.
While praying Allah to grant the Governor long life and good health in steering the ship of the state, he enjoined the people of the state to reciprocate the gesture of good governance by the Governor through their unalloyed support and cooperation to his administration.
Responding, Governor Makinde who received the paramount ruler with his wife, Tamunominini Olufunke, said that he was glad and had no regret that he ensured due process during the selection of the new Alaafin of Oyo.
Gov. Makinde stated that he ensured neutrality throughout the process of selection in order to prevent bias and ensure a fair and unbiased resolution.
He noted that the concept of an impartial decision-maker is integral to fostering public confidence.
Gov. Makinde assured the monarch of his determination to ensure a befitting renovation and reconstruction of the Alaafin Palace.
