Makinde based his choice on the provisions of Section 190(1) of the Nigerian Constitution, which requires the Governor to formally inform the legislature of the decision.
At Thursday’s plenary session, the Speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly, Honorable Debo Ogundoyin, who confirmed the Governor’s letter headed “Vacation Declaration,” said the Governor’s gesture was commendable because it further demonstrated Makinde’s love for Oke-Ogun.
By virtue of this occurrence, Bayo Lawal, who was born in Kishi, has become the first Oke-Ogun figure to hold the state’s number seat in an acting capacity.
