He stressed that any form of democracy that perpetuates poverty, unemployment, and insecurity should be discarded as it only perpetuates underdevelopment.

He encouraged the state to diversify its agricultural activities by cultivating another major crop to further bolster food security.

Obasanjo also emphasized the importance of a well-maintained road network and commended Governor Seyi Makinde for his proactive approach to rehabilitating, reconstructing, and constructing roads connecting the state’s five zones. He noted that such infrastructure projects would accelerate socio-economic development throughout the regions.

In closing, Obasanjo called upon the people of Oyo State to support Governor Makinde’s administration in its endeavors to enhance the state’s economy.
