Seyi Makinde is the new whiz kid, he's setting the pace just like his state - the pace setter.
He's redefining governance.
This is what we are expecting of PMB & we couldn't get till now.

Seyi Makinde should be commended for declaring his assets publicly even when there's no law compelling him to do so. It is a step towards transparency and open government.
