Oyo State governor, Seyi Makinde, on Tuesday said that his administration has always placed merit and excellence above sentiments and bigotry in its appointments.

Makinde said this while inaugurating members of the Oyo State Judicial Service Commission in the executive chamber of his office at the state secretariat, Agodi, Ibadan.

He maintained that his government would continue to appoint people that could support and add value to the state, “irrespective of their political affiliations or state of origin.

“Wherever we can find any talent that can add value to us as a state, I will go for such a person.”
