In a session held on Thursday, lawmakers considered a letter from Makinde, which outlined his intended leave period from August 10 to September 11, 2026. He is expected to resume his duties on September 14, 2026. The approval aligns with the stipulations of the 1999 Constitution, which mandates that governors must inform the State House of Assembly prior to any leave or absence.
Deputy Speaker Muhammed Fadeyi, presiding over the plenary in the absence of Speaker Adebo Ogundoyin, read the letter. After deliberations, the assembly members unanimously expressed confidence in Lawal’s capability to ensure a smooth governance process while the governor is away.
This decision comes amid ongoing discussions regarding the state’s governance and legislative priorities. The assembly members have reiterated their commitment to maintaining stability and continuity in government operations during this transitional period.
In related news, the assembly has been active in addressing various issues affecting the state, including recent legal actions and oversight responsibilities. The approval of Makinde's leave illustrates the assembly's adherence to constitutional protocols while fostering a collaborative governance environment.
As the state prepares for the governor's absence, the deputy governor is poised to manage ongoing projects and initiatives crucial to the welfare of Oyo residents. The assembly’s backing signals a unified front in maintaining government effectiveness during this time.
