Following the announcement of commissionser nominees, the Oyo North Senatorial District candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, in the last general elections, Barrister Bayo Lawal has eulogised the state governor, Engineer Seyi Makinde over choice of the nominees.
Bayo Lawal in a press release personally signed by him and made available to insideoyo.com in Ibadan on Friday, commended Makinde for nominating Barrister Niyi Farinto, Mr Niyi Adebisi, Mr Ojekunle Ojemuyiwa and Professor Oyewole Oyewo who are from Oyo North Senatorial District.
The Fomer Attorney General of the state described the nominees as people who come with rich political, professional and social pedigrees that could not be easily ignored.
“It is gratifying and commendable of His Excellency, Engineer Seyi Makinde, in the choice of his nominees for the positions of Commissionsers in the government of Oyo State in general. I want to particularly commend the Governor for nominating Barrister Niyi Farinto, Mr Niyi Adebisi, Mr Ojekunle Ojemuyiwa and Professor Oyewole Oyewo who will be representing the four federal constituencies in Oyo North Senatorial District. They all come with rich political, professional and social pedigrees that could not be easily ignored” he said.
The Bamofin of Kisi while praising Makinde also extolled the virtues of each of the nominees from Oyo North senatorial district.
“Niyi Farinto is a legal practitioner with wide experience in litigation as well as solicitors jobs. He was a member of the Oyo State House of Assembly. He also served as Chairman of Iwajowa Local Government. I have no doubt that his choice will add value to the administration of Governor Seyi Makinde. His socio-political standing and legal exposure will certainly rub positively on the administration with a view to achieving the goals for which Governor Seyi Makinde was voted in.”
“As for Niyi Adebisi, there could not have been a better choice. He is to my knowledge a very dynamic, grassroots mobilizer, team player and above all a loyal ally. His political influence in and around Saki West Local Government will certainly project and confirm that Governor Seyi Makinde did not make a wrong choice.”
“As for my brothers – Ojekunle Ojemuyiwa and Professor Oyewole Oyewo, both of them will be bringing forth a wide range of experiences in politics, academia and community development” he added.
The Barrister at law while calling for support for the Seyi Makinde led government also expressed hope that Oyo North senatorial district stands a good chance of reaping the dividends of democracy with the nominations.
“By the nomination of these individuals, Oyo North Senatorial District stands in good chance to reap the dividends of democracy both in terms of quality representation and value addition to governance. They are round pegs in round holes. I solicit for maximum cooperation and support for this administration in order to deliver upon its manifesteoes.” he concluded.
