My government will continue to make use of individuals who fit into its vision for the state.

During the swearing-in ceremony in Ibadan, Governor Makinde stressed that his administration will continue to appoint individuals aligned with its vision for the state. He clarified that the departure of a previous appointee should be viewed as restructuring for improved outcomes. Makinde encouraged Ladipo and other appointees to intensify their efforts to ensure the administration concludes its term strongly and leaves a significant impact.

Relieving an appointee of his or her appointment should be seen as restructuring for better results.
