He made this declaration while addressing a gathering of family and political associates of former Secretary to the State Government, Micheal Koleosho, who celebrated his 85th birthday, at his residence in Bolajoko estate, Akobo, Ibadan.
Makinde, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Taiwo Adisa, said that a lot of those who accused him of breaching the agreement reached with parties who went into a coalition with him in 2019 did not have the facts.
The governor stated that a lot of people who wanted to make the 2019 coalition agreement an issue in the buildup to the 2023 election had no knowledge of the deal, adding that in the end, the will of God triumphed.
He said, “The impression I want to correct is that there are people that were not there when we were making the agreement but went on air before the last election and started saying Makinde did not honour agreement.”
The governor described the former SSG as one of the best politicians that the state has ever produced.
Makinde, therefore, presented the gift of a brand new Toyota Landcruiser Jeep to the celebrant, praying to God to grant him more years and good health.
In his remarks, Koleosho gave glory and adoration to God for attaining the age of 85, even as he called for peaceful co-existence among politicians in the state.
He advised politicians in the state to shun politics of bitterness and think of what they can do for the state.
Earlier in his sermon, Oluseyi Afolabi admonished the celebrant to continue serving God and avoid errors of the last minutes as he grows older.
Dignitaries on the entourage of the governor included former deputy governor of the state and PDP Deputy National Chairman (South), Taofeek Arapaja; former Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Monsurat Sunmonu; the Head of Service, Ololade Agboola; commissioners and other political functionaries.
