The governor has mandated that all contractors return to building sites over the next three months in order to rebuild and overlay 60 kilometers of state roads with asphalt.
In a statement released on Sunday, the former minister gave the governor advice.
“Please focus on immediate issues like the settlement of pending salary and pension arrears, and I note with gladness that something is being done on these,” Kayode stated.
Important thoroughfares in almost every state senatorial district need immediate maintenance. We implore the governor to give these a careful look. But if dirty, hidden hands keep diverting his attention, how will he be able to accomplish this? Thus, let’s all try to bring about peace so that the state can keep growing.
Governor Lucky is well-liked in Abuja, which is fortunate for the state. He is aware of what to do. He has to use his goodwill as well as that of the late and cherished Governor Akeredolu to secure additional federal possibilities for the state’s advancement and enlightenment.
We implore the governor to avoid becoming sidetracked by baseless, demeaning, and tarnished accusations and hints. They currently have no relevance or impact.
Along with politicians, the state’s elders were asked by the Senior Advocate of Nigeria to support good governance and give the governor an opportunity to do his job.
“Allow him to settle down to work for our children and our elders,” Kayode stated. Permit him to go on where our late, dear Governor left off.
He said that if the present wave of “unwarranted and unpatriotic attacks” against the incumbent governor continued, the state’s citizens would suffer.
He emphasized that “if this incendiary politics of selfishness, hate, aggravation, and deception continue, the state and its people stand to gain nothing, but pain, poverty, and penury.”
