Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has reaffirmed his commitment to continue working tirelessly for the people until the conclusion of his administration. Speaking at a public event in Ibadan on Friday, November 28, 2025, Makinde emphasized that his government would not slow down or become complacent as his tenure winds down.
He noted that his administration has made significant strides in infrastructure, education, healthcare, and security, and pledged to consolidate these gains by completing ongoing projects. “I will serve the people of Oyo State diligently until the last day in office. There will be no slowing down. We will continue to deliver on our promises,” Makinde said.
The governor also urged citizens to remain supportive of his government’s initiatives, stressing that his focus remains on leaving behind a legacy of sustainable development and inclusive governance.
Context and Implications (woven into the narrative)
Makinde’s remarks come amid growing public interest in how governors manage the final stretch of their tenure. Analysts note that his pledge reflects an effort to reassure citizens that his administration will not lapse into a “lame-duck” phase, a common concern in Nigerian politics.
By promising diligence until the last day, Makinde is positioning himself as a leader committed to continuity and accountability. His statement also underscores the importance of sustained governance, especially in states where unfinished projects often stall once a governor leaves office.
