Oyo decries FG’s exclusion from state event

The Oyo State government has expressed disappointment over the exclusion of Governor Seyi Makinde from the flag-off ceremony of the Ibadan-Ijebu-Ode Road. According to the Commissioner for Information, Prince Dotun Oyelade, the event, which took place in Oluyole Local Government Area, was marred by a political undertone due to Makinde's absence. Despite the invitation not being extended to Makinde because he was on leave, the government maintains that he is unperturbed and confident in the progress of the state.
