Makinde, gave this speech of patience during the swearing-in ceremony of Mr. Lawal Ayansiju as the state commissioner, on Tuesday, convincing his party members that he will fulfill their desires as soon as there is a window for it.

He said: “I will like to seize this opportunity to tell some of our people who are still angry because the goodies have not gotten to them that patience is the watchword.

“You will get them; you will keep moving. Surely, as opportunities present themselves, we will bring the people on board.”
