The Peoples Democratic Party Governors’ Forum, PDP-GF, has celebrated Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, on his 56th birthday.
The forum’s chairman, Gov Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, celebrated Makinde in a statement issued by the forum’s Director-General, Cyril Maduabum, in Abuja on Monday.
Mohammed said that the forum celebrated Makinde’s genuine performance in office as Governor of Oyo State in over four years.
Makinde’s performance, according to him, was evident in life-impacting projects in infrastructure, education, agriculture, healthcare service delivery, power generation, SME funding, security, and safety—a wholesome transformation strategy for generational change.
“This progress is also being felt in the reorganised solid mineral sector, aviation sector upgrade, improved civil service welfare, transportation, culture, and tourism, road networking and urban renewal, trade and investment drive, and youth and women empowerment, among others.
“We are proud to say that the state’s economy has recorded a remarkable leap. The forum acknowledges his numerous contributions to the growth of our forum and his nationalistic approach to governance,’’ Mohammed said.
He noted that they celebrated Makinde’s valuable contributions in his capacity as vice chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum and to the growth of the nation, praying for more divine guidance for him generally in his line of service.
He assured Makinde of the forum’s unalloyed support as he presides over the affairs of his state.
