He attributes this decline in wealth to his dedication to the affairs of the state, which has left him with little time to focus on his personal business.
Governor Makinde’s Asset Declaration and Commitment:
When Governor Makinde began his first term in office, he declared assets valued at N48 billion.
Recently, he submitted his Asset Declaration form for his first term and the beginning of his second term at the Code of Conduct Bureau office in Ibadan.
Makinde mentioned that the details of his new asset declaration would be disclosed to the public in due course.
Governor Makinde’s Statement:
During a conversation with reporters, Governor Makinde explained that he has experienced a decrease in wealth of approximately 10 to 12 percent over the past four years.
He clarified that this decline is primarily due to his focus on managing the affairs of Oyo State rather than attending to his personal business interests.
