Building a legacy of good governance is a worthy and noble endeavor. It involves implementing effective and transparent systems that promote accountability, integrity, and ethical behavior in all aspects of governance, these traits are consistently embedded in His Excellency, Seyi Makinde’s administration. To achieve this, it is important to note that Omituntun 1.0 and 2.0 respectively focus on the following key areas:
Strong Institutions: Makinde has erected institutions that are independent, effective, and responsive. This includes ensuring the separation of powers, an independent judiciary, and an empowered civil service guided by the principles of fairness, equality, and justice.
Rule of Law: Upholding the rule of law has been a vital core principle of Seyi Makinde’s administration, thus, establishing a foundation of good governance. This means that laws are clear, predictable, and uniformly applied to all citizens irrespective of cadres. Consistent enforcement of laws by his government has helps build trust in the government and ensures that no one is above the law.
