Indeed, Oduyoye had guided the AD to support the candidature of Makinde, whose election he described as being a departure from the executive arrogance of the APC government. It is for these reasons that many who understand the politics of Oyo State describe Oduyoye’s appointment as strategic. It is a fact that the folds of those calling themselves progressives in Oyo State politics will take a huge hit with the like Oduyoye finding his way into the PDP government of Makinde. The governor would have in Oduyoye a loyal individual passionate about the progress of Oyo State. For Oduyoye, the appointment is a call to service and a nudge to remain committed to the progressive ideals for which he has been renowned and respected in the years past.
