Phone lines were opened for Oyo residents to call while the chat was live-tweeted

The Governor talked about Oyo state finances, Security, Healthcare, Education, and more

Cost cutting has allowed Oyo state pay salaries

When asked the secret to how Oyo state has been able to pay salaries, the Governor said he had to cut costs.
He not only still drives his personal car, he did not approve new cars to be purchased for the officials in his administration. Considering the uproar over the Nigerian Senate choosing to spend N5.5bn on new cars despite the state of the nation's finances, this was a prudent and necessary decision by the Governor.
Oyo state had over 60 bank accounts which he consolidated into one

Said the governor:

"We decided to prioritise the needs of the people of Oyo State. Oyo State had over 60 bank accounts, I asked the Accountant General to consolidate into one account. The total was N6 billion. The IGR has gone up a bit, because we have blocked the loopholes but we will do more."

Oyo state didn't spend any money on Christmas decorations

Governor Makinde said the following:

"Oyo State government didn't spend 1 kobo on the Christmas decorations. It was funded by the usual 'Christmas gift' to the governor, that was what we used to pay for the Christmas decorations so it cost government nothing."

Stop risking your life. Most Nigerians do not like good things

His Personal car, As well as his personal money.
Abeg oga the eye service is too obvious

Or better still, what happened to the cash allocated for his official cars?

Tomorrow someone will use it as a campaign slogan for the Blind voters

A billionaire for that matter. GSM is one of the rare governors we currently have in Nigeria

All the best sir

There is something called protocol to protect the office of the governor , as long as you are governor your security is very important so I just hope ur personal car meets the security specification requisite for a Governor in Nigeria today

You sabi book gaan

Are you a library

Oyo deserved what they have..let's other Wait for Biafra, before then we've gone.

Very wrong in every sense of it.
His life now belongs to the state so also his security. He should first secure his life before securing the state but if his personal car meets the security requirements of his office then,...

Likes for governor Seyi makinde, shares for bubu

With regards to security

He bought 100 Kia cars for security agency's
Therefore securing himself and the peope

Godfullsam:
Likes for governor Seyi makinde, shares for bubu

Bubu is not half of gsm

Makinde's success so far is due to

Lack of godfatherism.

Political Will

Adequate planning before taking oath of office

Grass-root politics

If he sustain this momentum, the sky is just the beginning. I wish him luck. Not from Oyo though.

The man is a great man

Man is a billionaire for god sake. U think he doesn't know that? U r really smart

Imagine someone like this as a sitting president.
Nigeria will turn to Dubai no jokes...
One old senile man is busy scratching the back of the ninth senate and agreeing to renovating a building housing a bunch of jokers for 37billion just because his servants there approved the 2020 budget early enough for looting.

What do Igbo term success ?
Turning Biafra into the shit hole it is presently isn't exactly what any rational being will term success you know ?!
