Segun Akanni, Toronto, Canada 
The conduct of Engr. Seyi Makinde’s governance in Oyo state have been described as a fulfilment of a long time prophecy about the nation of Nigeria.
The Executive Assistant to the state Governor, Rev. Idowu Ogedengbe made this known while speaking at a thanksgiving service organised by the Special Strategic Group for the enthronement of Engr. Seyi Makinde as governor of Oyo State, at Maranatha Chapel, Iwo road, Ibadan last weekend.
According to Rev. Ogedengbe, Seyi Makinde came at a time God ordained a new nation of Nigeria to emerge, a new dawn which starts from Oyo state.
He explained that Oyo state will not just be a pacesetter of a new Nation of Nigeria but that of Africa as a whole.
He noted that Engr. Makinde who has zero tolerance for corruption will not embark on any programme for self aggrandisement but a people-centered programmes and projects.
Rev. Ogedengbe added that Governor Makinde stands at a vantage position to carefully assess the good and the errors of the past leaders in the state saying that he is always interested in knowing the motive for a programme or project started or put in place by the past administration to know if such programme or project should be continued or stopped.
While giving the assurance that Engr. Makinde’s achievements will surpass that of his predecessors, he admonished Christians to prayerfully consider going into politics once they are sure God is asking them to do so.
“There is nothing wrong for Christians to go into politics. Once you are sure God is leading you towards that direction, pray very well, join a political party, attend their meetings from ward level, make sure you participate actively in all the activities of the party of your choice and make up your mind to make a positive difference as a Christian”.
Speaking earlier at the meeting, the convener of the Special Strategic Group, Dr. Olatunde Oladoyinbo thanked members for their selfless, relentless service at the time it was well needed and urged the members to ensure they daily pray for the success of the government of Engineer Makinde on a daily consistent basis.
Dr. Oladoyinbo who said Christians are duty bound to pray constantly and consistently for all those in authority noted that Nigeria is about to witness a significant turn around that will birth a new Nation that citizens will be proud of, starting from Oyo State which is the pacesetter state and the spiritual gateway to the nation.
Members of the group who were drawn from all the 33 local government councils of the state took quality time to pray for Oyo State in particular and Nigeria generally especially as we celebrate the 59th Independence anniversary.
