Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has been given a pat in the back for his outstanding leadership roles and for giving the citizens of the state the dividends of democracy they deserve.

Makinde via his twitter handle, @Makindemedia revealed that his administration will not put unnecessary burden on the residents of the in the name of taxation.

The gesture was greeted with several comments by social media users who commended him for considering the plight of the citizens of the state especially at a time the world was experiencing a global pandemic, COVID-19.

Among the initiatives by the governor was the decision to abolish the payment of education levy of N3,000 per student and the decision to also abolish the payment of taxes by places of worship.

According to social media users, Nigeria needs to rethink giving the presidency to a young man in the mode of the Oyo State governor who has a make a young and active man the president of the country ,believing that Governor Makinde would fit into the position.

BMC will praise Sanwoolu that has been taxing every living thing in Lagos State and criticise Seyi Makinde that has never burdened Oyo State residents with 'unnecessary' tax.
I feel sey this thing nah craze sha.

Reporting from Adamasingba stadium where Governor Seyi Makinde is coming to flag off the reconstruction of the stadium, preliminary works ongoing already. This is the third project flag off in 1 week, a dupe

Seyi Makinde has his flaws as a human but he's ticked all the box for good governance in Nigeria.
All I can repay him with is my support and beckon for investments to come here to compliment Seyi Makinde's planned infrastructural development that have started

Seyi Makinde came from the private sector and this has reflected in his governance, part of his promises kept is not to add a dime to the tax burden of the citizens but EXPAND THE TAX BASE, pure BUSINESS sauve

Something Lagos govt lacks because you can't give what you don't have pic.twitter.com/wFEAA1Z6V1

So, Ikorodu boiz will now have to pay a 5% levy on whatever content they produce with their Netflix machines.

Well, Oyo state can accommodate all and sundry. Seyi Makinde is not interested in unnecessary taxing to improve the sector. https://t.co/0NKExUBLTM

This is a very laudable move by Governor Seyi Makinde. And add to the fact that the contract was awarded to a local contractor (in Oyo town) makes it even more remarkable. Providing job opportunities to the locals while giving the historical market a facelift ??? https://t.co/ro2KbIM0Oh

I'm not saying Oyo state is Dubai or the haven for every good thing yet but yoruba will say "satide ti a da Sunday ni a ti maa mo". Since Seyi Makinde's inception into office he's shown that he wants to bring ease of doing business to every small, medium and large scale…

Seyi Makinde is so open, unprecedented with Nig politicians

My Governor isn't any close to this type of openness and level of sincerity to the people

Mine is running a closemouthed government.

The more you look, the less you see

Sanwoolu took Lagos explosion pictures to Buhari(maybe for the usual modelling). BMC praised him.
Seyi Makinde visited the site and solidarised with victims. BMC called him "hugging Gov".
Today, Makinde flagged off the construction of Akesan market. Lmao. No news yet from Lagos.

Governor Seyi Makinde aggressively embarking on projects whilst salaries are still being paid on time ….

Some clowns believe this is impossible, Governance ain’t rocket science.

Within a week,Seyi Makinde has flagged off the construction of Ultra modern market in Akesan,approving funds for the upgrade of Adamasigba stadium,also upgrading facilities in Adeoyo and lautech hospitals respectively.
Audio Governor indeed ?

Just the way Awolowo had adherents. I forsee a time when some of us youths will proudly call ourselves Seyi Makinde disciples. https://t.co/V5mXBZLV2a
