Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, on Saturday described governance as reflection of society, adding that no political office holder could be successful without the input of the citizens, especially civil servants.
Makinde, who spoke in Okuku, Osun State, at the thanksgiving service to mark the 70th birthday anniversary of a former Osun State Governor, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, also said governance was not about the All Progressives Congress or the Peoples Democratic Party.
He, therefore, urged religious leaders to continue to offer prayers, rather than put the blame of bad governance in the country only on the political class.
