Akinpelu Commends Makinde for Remembering PLWD in his Govt

Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, has been commmended for his magnanimity to consider people with disabilities in his second term government.

A concerned citizen in the state, Mr. Olumuyiwa Akinpelu,who spoke on behalf of the reappointed people with disabilities, which include, Barrister Ayodele Adekanmbi, Director-General of People Living With Disabilities; Comrade Timothy Olufemi Sunday, Executive Assistant to the Governor on Disabilities Matters and Honourable Taofik Olusola Abolore (a.k.a. Olukole), incoming councilor, Afijio Local Government, Ibadan, in a statement, expressed gratitude to the governor for associating himself with PLWD the as part of his promises which he made during his campaign while aspiring for the second term in office.

He said: “With sober reflection in retrospect,
it is quite unprecedented to be given the good opportunity accorded us during the first term tenure of the incumbent governor – Engineer Abiodun Oluwaseyi Makinde, (FNSE), in the history of governance in Oyo State, Nigeria, by erstwhile regimes.”

“In addition to that, it has never happened that a sitting governor will continue to passionately give listening hears with rapt attention to the aspirations and yearnings of People Living With Disabilities, as we are having it now under the good governance of our erudite GSM.”

“Moreover, the present actions of our incumbent governor, who kicked the ground running to continue the good works his administration began during his first term in office, has left his ardent critics, in awe and bewilderment.”

“How” and “Why?,” One may want to ask. The answers are not farfetched. Here they are, at your fingertips.”

“Many of his critics have said, disdainfully, that Abiodun Oluwaseyi Makinde, will not scale through the hurdle of the electioneering process to actualize his second term bid in office; but they were all proved wrong by the electorate, who opted for continuity of his good works, without any betrayal of trust, at the gubernatorial poll.”

“After that, his detractors minted another coin of fallacy that, GSM can never build on the unrivalled fundamental structures he has erected during his first term in office. One of these was that, People Living With Disabilities will be abandoned and jettisoned by the incumbent governor, as soon as he was being sworn-in for his second term in office.”

“But to the glory of Almighty GOD, all these projections had been debunked, in that our amiable GSM, has actually, extended his right hand of fellowship, and, of course, governance, not only to the good people of Oyo State, but to the grateful People Living With Disabilities, too.”

“Without leaving any stone unturned, the governor ensured continuity of his campaign promises, without rescission on his words. Oyo State is moving up to greater heights, in leaps and bounds.”

“To The glory of Almighty GOD, we, (PLWD), are now quite privileged to occupy more vital posts and important positions of authorities, in the current Government of The People; By The People; and, of course, For The People, in spite of the critics’ disparaging utterances.”

“To buttress the assertions above, I am bold to numerically itemize some of the inexhaustible blessings and appointments giving to us, (People Living With Disabilities), by the sympathetic and empathetic governor of the people – our beloved GSM.”

“Moreover, all the Supervisory Councilors appointed during the first term tenure of our GSM are still holding forth in that capacity, in all the 33 Local Government of Oyo State respectively.”

“We, (PLWD), are also ably represented in all these 33 Local Governments of our Pacesetter State by Special Assistants to Local Government Chairmen, because, the incumbent governor strongly believe, ‘there is tremendous ability in disability.”

“And with due respect to His Excellency, Engineer. Abiodun Oluwaseyi Makinde – FNSE, each and everybody that have been duly employed before his second term in Oyo State, will continue to enjoy the dividends of democracy.”

As a lover of qualitative education, we cannot forget TESCOM employees, especially, all the teachers that were employed into the Oyo State Civil Service during the first term of our GSM.”

“They will definitely continue their assigned duties without fear or dread, in order to inculcate the best to our children and school pupils, whose educational pursuit is of great concern for GSM.”

“To the best of my knowledge, this Second Term tenure of the people’s governor, Engineer Abiodun Oluwaseyi Makinde, (FNSE), promises to be an ‘All-inclusive Governance,’ in order to fulfill the beneficial purpose of equitable distribution of good governance and dividends of democracy.”

“At this juncture, we glorify Almighty GOD for these unprecedented and elevated positions in the core of the incumbent government in Oyo State.”

“We also thank Almighty GOD for given us a “goal-getter governor” that is at the helm of governance, with the fear of GOD; and, equitable distribution of the dividends of democracy, to all and sundry, through his democratic disposition that has placed our dear state to prominence, by the numerous modern amenities and social infrastructures embarked upon for the collective utility of the masses.”

It is our prayer, that Almighty GOD, in His infinite mercy, will continue to abide with Governor Abiodun Oluwaseyi Makinde, (FNSE), with his lovely wife, and family; for the erudition of these good qualitative actions and activities.”

“Almighty GOD will give him longer life with peace, progress and prosperity for Oyo State, and, of course, the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as a whole,” he said.
