I am still a baby governor, give me more time,Abiodun begs Ogun people

• 

The Ogun state governor, Dapo Abiodun has described himself as a ‘baby governor’ that still needs to be given a lot of time in fulfilling his campaign promises.

Abiodun while speaking at the education summit organised by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology to bring stakeholders in the education sector together, which was held at Cultural centre, Kuto in Abeokuta, appealed to the people to be patient with him because he is still new in the system.

The governor maintained that his administration is on its toes to ensure that dividends of democracy are delivered to the people of the state.

He said, “I want to remind you that I am still a baby governor, because, it is not easy to begin to do the things that I have done in just little time. I have only been here for three and half months as the governor of the state.

“In these little months, we have embarked on all the projects you have seen us embarked on. I am proud to say that I presently have the best team that any governor can boast of.

“I have people that have come from diverse sectors and they are here because of patriotism and commitment in building their state.

“We have done all we have done, not because we are interested in any 100 days or whatever, but, because of you, our people that voted for us and we have to represent and fulfill our campaign promises”.

The governor also boasted that his administration has generated the highest Internally Generated Revenue in the history of the state.

Abiodun claimed that since the inception of his administration, the government has not sold a single land.

He added, “I am trying to manage the resources available to us. For the first time in the history of OGIRS, we generated an extra amount of money; the highest that was ever generated in the history of OGIRS.

“Meanwhile, we have not sold land and have not done any tax audit. We got that by doing some re-engineering and this is to show you that we are indeed working the talk.

“I want to plead with you to please bear with us and we will plan to accommodate all your demands”.
