The governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has charged Nigerians to vote intelligently in the forthcoming 2023 general elections.
Makinde gave the charge at the 65th birthday celebration and thanksgiving service of Rev. Samson Ayokunle, President, and Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) on Tuesday in Ibadan.
He advised electorates to pick individuals who have the physical and mental capacity to manage the country.
In his word, the governor said;
“We have seen a lot of elder statesmen who want to run this country at age 75 or 78. I want them to think twice and I am saying to the people of Oyo State and Nigeria that this world is not easy.
It is possible for you to delegate, ask people to go all over the place but when they are reporting to you, if something has not been added, a few things may have been removed.
We are in election season basically and what I will say to us as a people is that we need to choose wisely and elect the people who have the energy to truly serve the country.”
