As it stands, Nigerians appear to be falling head over heels in love with the 52-year-old governor of Oyo State.
And the reasons are not so far fetched.
Recall that just recently, the governor had approved the payment of an unprecedented amount of N500,000 each as bursary to Oyo state indigenes who are students at the Nigerian Law School.
In an earlier story, we had reported that according to our findings, there are 120 Oyo State indigenes presently at the Nigerian Law School and it was also reported that the last time the indigenes received bursary from the state government was 7 years ago.
And now, the Oyo state Governor has sent the name of Seun Fakorede, a 27-year-old OAU graduate who might set the record as Nigeria’s youngest commissioner.

It’s no longer news that this pacesetting Gov has appointed 27yr old OAU graduate a Commissioner in his cabinet. 3 gbosas for the happening Gov. #Youths #Ready2Lead” while @ShittaAbiodun3 said ”Governor Seyi Makinde @seyiamakinde engaging youths in his government is nothing but a drive to achieving true Federalism! Not about the old cargo and recycled leaders who eat the future of their generations to come and yet another user @dadabanji simply said ”Seyi Makinde, first of his kind.”

His excellency, Seyi Makinde is paving way for refined politics in Nigeria. A government that works isn't rocket science. It boils down to politically will. While there's more to do, this healthy competition among states that democracy affords us should be preserved.
