The Oyo State Governor Engineer Oluseyi Makinde has said that his future political plans solely depend on God’s will.
Engineer Makinde while speaking at the birthday party organized for him by friends and associates in Saki said his movements in life have always been determined by God, wherever he directs I go and 2023 would not be exceptional.
He urges people calling on him to re-contest 2023 to seek God’s intervention through prayer and always pray that God’s will should prevail on the people of Oyo state.
“In 2018, myself and a clergy man went to pray and as we lay on the altar I told him, don’t pray for anything than God’s will for my life and the people of the state and my electoral victory in 2019 was nothing but God’swill so the future political move depends solely on him.
