Atiku Hails Makinde On Public Assets Declaration
Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar on Tuesday expressed delight at the public declaration of assets by Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State as part of fulfilling his electoral pledges.
Atiku, in a statement by his media Adviser, Paul Ibe said Governor Makinde by this action, has demonstrated that integrity is not a mere lip homage but a consistent course of action of an individual’s doing as they promised.
The former vice president commended the Governor for his forthrightness and also expressed his support to him and his administration in delivering good governance in the Pace Setter’s state.
Atiku noted that Governor Makinde hit the ground running after his swearing in as governor with ground breaking policies that seek to frontally address the problems of corruption in public and private sectors and also in advancing the access to universal basic education, stressing that these are programmes to which the PDP is heartily committed.
Atiku said that he is particularly proud of Governor Makinde because his action as the only elected public official so far to so publicly declare his assets speaks eloquently to the maxim of leadership by example.
He noted that by this, the Governor has spoken without any ambiguity, that his administration will not condone corruption, adding that his example is highly recommended to other leaders at all levels of government.
