Browsing: Governor Seyi Makinde

At the Eagle Square, Abuja in the early hours of Sunday, October 31, Governor Seyi Makinde had just delivered his candidate, Amb. Taofeek Arapaja as the Deputy National Chairman (South) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). From the ranks of his supporters, somebody hailed-the master strategist! The governor gave him thumbs up and the general backslapping continued. 

Governor Makinde, who stated this while receiving the  2021 Governor of the Year Award in Security and Youth Empowerment, organised by the  Leadership Excellence Awards, added that the state has equally utilised sport development, agribusiness development and massive support for Micro, Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (MSME) to empower the youth demography in the state.

Indeed, a new power bloc has just emerged within the PDP and with every sense of pride and acknowledgment, Diri is at the forefront with other governors for the sagacity, maturity and administrative experience he brought to bare in the assignment as Deputy Chairman, 2021 National Convention Main Organising Committee.

The Commissioner for Lands, Housing and Urban Development, Olusegun Emmanuel Olayiwola, who made this disclosure during his visit to some of the GRAs in the week warned that the state government will deal decisively with anyone found or caught illegally occupying any of the state government properties.
