Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde affirmed his dedication to serving the state impartially, irrespective of political affiliations, asserting that development, not party labels, drives his administration. He appealed to fellow politicians not to view politics as a "do or die" scenario, emphasizing that it should not create divisions among people.
The governor inaugurated and handed over the Alhaji Kazeem Owonikoko Building at L.A. Primary School, Oke Esa, Iseyin, which was donated to the state government by Alhaji Ahmed Raji, SAN.
Makinde highlighted ongoing industrial development in Iseyin, mentioning a sugar factory near Fasola Farms that is currently undergoing test runs. He attributed the project's viability to improved road networks, positioning Iseyin for global recognition. Regarding Raji's request for autonomy for the LAUTECH Iseyin Campus, Makinde stated that they would follow due process by applying through the National University Commission (NUC) and conducting a sustainability study.
The governor also praised politicians for their support, lauding the ongoing infrastructure projects in Iseyin and the broader Oke Ogun region, such as the Moniya–Iseyin road, the Oyo–Iseyin road, and the Iseyin–Fapote–Ogbomoso road. He particularly commended the establishment of LAUTECH's College of Agricultural Sciences and Renewable Natural Resources in Iseyin, noting that previous administrations had failed to provide such facilities.
