The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde has revealed that he sold bread for the first 13 years of his life by the gate of Adeoyo state hospital in Ibadan.
The Governor made this known at the 80th thanksgiving service of his mother Mrs Abigael Makinde at St Paul Anglican Church in Yemetu on Sunday November 10
He said “For the first 13 years of my life, where we lived was not more than five minutes to where we are now. My mum was a Telephone Operator in the state secretariat. At Adeoyo State Hospital here, I and my brother Muyiwa also used to help her sell bread by the gate of Adeoyo State Hospital. What can propel a child who used to live some five minutes away from here to become a Governor of Oyo state is education. And that is why we have declared that free and qualitative education has come to stay in Oyo state”.
