I won’t victimise those who didn’t vote for me – Makinde

Governor Seyi Makinde says he has broken the glass ceiling preventing youngsters in the state from attaining whatever heights they desire with his reelection.

He promised not to discriminate against his opponents during electioneering. According to him, campaigns and elections are over.

“The task ahead is to continue the good work and take our people from poverty to prosperity. We will not discriminate against those who did not support us. This will be a government for the people of Oyo State and the progress of Oyo State,” Makinde said on Tuesday in his address during a reelection victory celebration at Ilaji Hotels and Sports Resort, Akanran, in Ibadan.

Billionaire businessman, Dotun Sanusi organised the celebration at the mini stadium of the resort.

The governor said certain circumstances and achievements aided his reelection.

Mr Makinde assured the people that his administration would not discriminate based on religion, ethnicity and political affiliations in distributing democratic dividends to them.

The governor thanked Sanusi for organising the mega party and appreciated other critical stakeholders that ensured his electoral victory in 31 of the 33 local government areas.

Makinde said the electorate’s political education level was high, and the people did not allow godfathers to dictate to them.

The governor said they were building a state where everyone would have opportunities, irrespective of the son of whom they are. He said young ones can now attain whatever position they desired.

“I want our youngsters to take notice of this. There is no more glass ceiling in Oyo State. Seyi Makinde has broken all glass ceilings. I have broken the glass ceiling for the youngsters in the state. Our young ones can now attain whatever position they desire,” he said.
