Newly sworn-in governor of Ogun State, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, has expressed hopes that by the time he will be concluding his second term in 2019, his successor will emerge from the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Speaking shortly after his inauguration for a second term in office on Friday at the M.K.O. Abiola International Stadium, Kuto, Abeokuta, Ogun State, the governor promised that his new administration would complete the ongoing projects and embark on new ones that would endear the APC to the people of the state.
At the ceremony, Amosun took his oath of office and oath of allegiance at about 11.48am after his deputy, Mrs Yetunde Onanuga, took her oaths at 11.39am.
Acknowledging that there was still more work ahead, he said, “We are the ones that can develop and rebuild Ogun State; nobody else can do it for us. But I cannot do it alone without your support.
“We will continue to work as a team to deliver projects that have direct bearing on the lives of the people. I hope by the time I will be leaving in 2019, I will handover to another governorship candidate of the APC.”
While positing that in the past four years, his administration had delivered dividends of democracy to the people of the state in the areas of infrastructure such as road construction, health care delivery, and education among others, Amosun disclosed that the government in its investment drive had also attracted 60 industries to the state.
The governor noted that he got the renewal of the mandate of the people at the April 11 governorship election as a result of their confidence in his party – the APC.
