The Gubernatorial Candidate of the Accord party in Oyo State, Southwest, Nigeria, Adebayo Adelabu, has congratulated Governor Seyi Makinde on his victory and re-election into office at the March 18, 2023 governorship election.
While congratulating the Governor, Adelabu said “the victory was a call to do more and serve the people diligently.”
He added that: “Election has come and gone and we should all go back to our normal daily lives, like I always say. It is my strong belief that election should not be a do or die affair, as God changes times and seasons, he enthrones and dethrones kings according to his wish. God’s time is the best.
“Election is all about giving our state the best in governance and achieving the desired socio-economic development to improve the welfare and prosperity of our people. While we will continue in our constructive, objective and helpful criticism of government policies and programmes, all that matter now is joining hands with the Governor in our respective capacity to achieve the desired people-oriented development for the state, for posterity to smile on us.
“Though Oyo State is not yet where it should be, this is another golden opportunity for the Governor to ensure that he does not disappoint the people by ensuring even development across the State.”
Priorities
Adelabu, therefore, enjoined Governor Makinde to focus on the poor state of security in the State and on the environment which needs urgent attention, noting also that schools should be made more conducive for learning while teachers should be encouraged and trained to do more in order to ensure that Oyo State regained its status as a pace setter state.
He further charged the governor not to forget the need for urgent industrialisation of the State and creation of jobs for the teeming unemployed youths.
“Once again, accept my hearty congratulations,” Adelabu concluded.
