Following his re-election with 563,756 votes and a 307,071-vote margin, HE Seyi Makinde thanks Oyo State voters, rejects religious division and political godfatherism, and declares the election a mandate to begin the Omituntun 2.0 era of sustainable development.
Following INEC’s postponement of the governorship election to 18 March, HE Seyi Makinde restates key Omituntun 2.0 commitments, including free public education, higher internally generated revenue and measurable manifesto promises, while asking voters to renew his mandate.
As campaigning ends after visiting all 33 LGAs, HE Seyi Makinde contrasts theoretical and experiential knowledge, reports 70% implementation of his first-term roadmap and presents Omituntun 2.0 as an upgrade built on lessons and public feedback from his first term.
Following protests over the naira and fuel scarcity, HE Seyi Makinde pauses campaigning to address security and introduces the Omituntun Free Bus Service and other palliatives, before announcing that campaigning will resume once the security situation stabilises.
HE Seyi Makinde highlights a €55 million French facility for upgrading hospitals and primary healthcare infrastructure, explaining its 40-year tenor, 15-year grace period and potential conversion to a grant as an example of his approach to financing sustainable development.
Campaigning across Oyo State’s 33 LGAs, HE Seyi Makinde explains why smaller stakeholder meetings with farmers, traders, students, workers and businesses matter as much as rallies, providing local feedback that can shape the 2023–2027 Roadmap to Sustainable Development.
