“The journey ahead is crucial and challenging due to many years of disconnects between the people and democratically elected government at the grassroots levels. However, no matter the burden, the present administration would not leave any stone unturned to ensure that even development is actualized across the nooks and crannies of the State.

“I wish to stress that, the expectations of the good people of Oyo State are high and they would not accept anything short of good governance from you. In meeting these yearnings and aspirations of the people, it is incumbent on you to key into the cardinal programmes of the present Administration designed to make life better for the citizenry, namely, education, health, economic expansion and security.

“It would not be out of place to advert to the need to operate within the ambit of the law by ensuring strict adherence to due process and due diligence in the conduct of government business in your respective Local Government Areas in line with uncompromising stance of His Excellency on zero tolerance for corruption in the State.”
