He described the golden jubilee celebration as a reflection of Oyo State’s identity, strength coexistence and shared dreams.
The two-terms House of Representatives member said that the celebration will spread across all geo-political zones of the state.
”We shall involve all strata of the society (age, gender, religion, belief, or career). As the Oyo State Government Executive arm of government takes the leadership in this celebration, the Legislative, Judiciary, Traditional and Religious bodies, Artisans, Students, Farmers, and Entrepreneurs will definitely have a role to play as we celebrate our dear Pacesetter State.”
