Governor Seyi Makinde's campaign promise to provide silos at four agricultural zones to support buyback during his first term (May 2019-May 2023) was fundamentally broken. 

 

The manifesto explicitly stated: “Provision of silos at the four (4) agricultural zones to support buyback”.

By May 2021 (two years into office), official government records indicated "The silo project is ongoing," and as of July 2022 (three years in), it remained "ongoing" with no completion date in sight.

Instead of establishing silos in four agricultural zones as promised, the administration inherited and attempted to complete a single 10,000 metric-tonne silo project at Awe Junction in Oyo East LGA initiated under the previous administration. 

 

The promise to provide multiple silos across four agricultural zones with dedicated buyback infrastructure was never attempted, let alone delivered. The promise was broken.
