Oyo State Governor, ‘Seyi Makinde, has once again demonstrated that governance and fitness can go hand in hand by participating in a recently concluded marathon in the United States.

Makinde, alongside other athletes, completed the race in over two hours.

The Governor shared his experience on his social media pages, noting that he ran faster than he did in another edition of the race he participated in two years ago.

He wrote:

“Glad to have completed the Houston Half Marathon in 2 hours 53 minutes today. Though conditions were tough with freezing temperatures at 1 degree Celsius, I finished faster than the Berkeley Half Marathon which I ran about 2 years ago. I also took part in a 5k fun run yesterday which I completed in 38 minutes.” Makinde said.
