Promises to focus on citizens’ welfare
Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, has described election litigations in the state, which ended at the Supreme Court on Friday, as unnecessary distractions.
The governor also promised to devote the remaining three and half years of his administration to work for the welfare and wellbeing of the people.
Abiodun spoke at a thanksgiving service to mark his victory, held at St. James’ Anglican Church, Iperu, Ikenne Council.
The governor said the period preceding the court judgment was a great distraction, which he has put behind.
He said: “Although this period has brought a lot of distractions, I am relieved it is now behind us, allowing us to fully focus on our unwavering commitment to lead Ogun State to new heights and make it a shining example amongst not just Nigerian states, but other states in Africa.”
“With just three years and four months remaining in our term, we are determined to implement the rest of our sustainable legacies that will create jobs, foster individual prosperity and promote the well-being and welfare of all our citizens.”
In his sermon, the Bishop of Remo Diocese, Anglican Communion, the Most Revd Olusina Fape, while congratulating Abiodun, urged him not to take the victory for granted but remain focus and serve the people even better during his second term in office.
Speaking on the topic: “God who has begun a good work will complete it” and taking his text from Philippians 1:3 to 6, the bishop noted that the governor did well in his first term by touching every part of the state with developmental projects through the ISEYA mantra.
The service was attended by past governors, deputy governors, political stalwarts, members of trade associations, traditional rulers, religious leaders and captains of industries, among others.
