…By Larry John for TDPel Media.

Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has stated that he has become financially poorer since taking office in 2019.

He attributes this decline in wealth to his dedication to the affairs of the state, which has left him with little time to focus on his personal business.

Governor Makinde’s Asset Declaration and Commitment:

When Governor Makinde began his first term in office, he declared assets valued at N48 billion.

Recently, he submitted his Asset Declaration form for his first term and the beginning of his second term at the Code of Conduct Bureau office in Ibadan.

Despite the financial setbacks, he expressed contentment with his current situation.

Deputy Governor’s Asset Declaration:

Alongside Governor Makinde, his deputy, Bayo Lawal, also submitted his Asset Declaration form.

This declaration process was witnessed by members of the Code of Conduct Bureau, including Rt. Hon. Taofeek Abdulsalam and Lagos State Director of the Bureau, Mrs. O. Popoola.
