“So, I have gone to CCB office to submit my Assets Declaration form at the end of my first tenure and also my assets at the beginning of the second tenure.

“You are all aware of my Assets Declaration for the first tenure.

“I can tell you that in the last four years, I’m poorer by 10 to 12 per cent.

“This is because, I have not really have the chance to look after my business.

“We have been looking after Oyo State business; so, I’m not surprised that there were losses a bit here and there, but I’m still okay,” Makinde said.
