Forum of Oyo state Chairmen of Commissions and Director Generals of Parastatals has hailed Governor Seyi Makinde over the successful conduct of the local government election in the state.
The forum also commended the Oyo state Independent Electoral Commission, OYSIEC, under the leadership of Aare Isiaka Olagunju SAN for a yeoman’s job.
The forum made these known in a statement jointly signed by the chairman of the forum, Alhaji Kamorudeen Aderibigbe and secretary, Rt Hon Musah Abdulwasi, PhD, on Tuesday, in Ibadan, the state capital.
According to the statement, the forum said Governor Seyi Makinde has written his name in gold in the history of the state for conducting local government election two times in state.
