Hon Ogundoyin said the resolve of Governor Seyi Makinde to transform Oyo state is not in doubt going by the caliber of people being considered for appointment into the state executive council.

The Speaker maintained that virtually all the appointees are technocrats and highly cerebral people who have or are making waives in their chosen careers.

Lawmaker representing Ogbomoso North state constituency at the Oyo state House of Assembly while speaking during the screening   frowns at poor representation of women on the list.
