In the history of Oyo State politics, rarely have the people had an engagement with their elected representative as robust, total and in a no-holds-barred manner as the one held on Sunday, January 29, 2023. It was a town hall meeting with the governor of the state, Mr. Seyi Makinde at the Fresh FM Hall, Felele, Ibadan.
With a hall filled to the brim and the crowd far removed from the usual politicians’ renting of crowds whose faces depict that they were suborned to the venue for reason of cash, the faces of attendees spoke bountifully of admiration, willingness to interface with their governor and expectations that the man they trusted with their votes in 2019 would give them proper account of his stewardship.
