Some of those who graced the occasion included Chief Bayo Oyero, Senator Monsurat Sumonu, Okere of Saki, Oba Khalid Olabisi, Alhaji Hammed Raji (SAN) and Sheik Taofeek Akewugbagold.
Makinde, while addressing the gathering, explained that his administration has overhauled the security system in the state.
He said that the only enemies of the state are the criminal elements.
He, however, vowed that his administration will deal with the enemies irrespective of who they are.
Who are our enemies? They are the criminal elements, but whoever they are, we will deal with them in Oyo State.

“In Oyo State, we have a Hijab policy. If that policy is going to change, there must be engagement with stakeholders and I am happy to say that we are ready to have that engagement.”
