The Yoruba leaders were led to the meeting by the former House of Representatives member, representing Iseyin, Itesiwaju, Kajola and Iwajowa federal constituency of Oyo State, Abiodun Olasupo.

Makinde assured the Yorubas in Bayelsa that the present peaceful atmosphere that has helped boost their businesses and socio-cultural ties would subsist.
