The head of a coward man will swell as the Executive Governor of Oyo state, Engr. Oluseyi Abiodun Makinde revealed that he sold bread for the first 13 years of his life by the gate of Adeoyo State Hospital in Ibadan before becoming the Governor of Oyo State.
The Ibadan born Governor who disclosed this at the 80th thanksgiving service of his mother, Mrs. Abigael Makinde at St. Paul Anglican Church in Yemetu, Ibadan on Sunday maintained that he happens to be successful in life through the education.
“For the first 13 years of my life, where we lived was not more than five minutes to where we are now. My mum was a Telephone Operator in the state secretariat. At Adeoyo State Hospital here, I and my brother Muyiwa also used to help her sell bread by the gate of Adeoyo State Hospital.”
According to him, his declaration of free education in the state was aimed at ensuring residents of the state get the benefit of being educated.
“What can propel a child who used to live some five minutes away from here [Yemetu] to become a Governor of Oyo state is education. And that is why we have declared that free and qualitative education has come to stay in Oyo state,” Makinde said.
Governor Makinde also urged parents and guardians in the state to put the education of their children as their first priority.
It is a fact that Education is the best legacy. A good parent must provide a quality education for their love children or wards.
The emotional and motivating message from Governor Makinde also urge us to endure on any shortcomings or plight we are passing through currently.
