Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has demonstrated his commitment to both governance and personal fitness by participating in and completing a marathon in the United States.
The Governor joined other athletes in the Houston Half Marathon, completing the race in 2 hours and 53 minutes.
Sharing his experience on social media, Makinde expressed satisfaction with his performance despite the challenging weather conditions, which saw temperatures drop to 1°C.
“Glad to have completed the Houston Half Marathon in 2 hours 53 minutes today,” Makinde wrote.
“Though conditions were tough with freezing temperatures, I finished faster than the Berkeley Half Marathon, which I ran about two years ago. I also took part in a 5K fun run yesterday, completing it in 38 minutes.”
