Gov. Makinde extends olive branch to co-contestants

Winner of the March 18 governorship election in Oyo State, Gov. Seyi Makinde on Saturday in Ibadan called on his co-contestants in the election to join hands with him to move Oyo State to greater heights.

“Electioneering campaign is behind us now and we are to battle the issue of governance now.

“This is our state and commonwealth and we must make sure we move our state forward,’’ Makinde said on a radio programme.

He described his electoral success as victory for the people of Oyo State and said he would be open to working with the ideas of his co-contestants wherever they were found to be superior to his.
