“Now that the election is over, I want everyone to join me to move the state forward, government cannot do it alone. For us to have an enviable state, everyone must be ready to play their part for the state to move forward.
“I promise that my administration will not cheat anyone. It will be an all-inclusive government where everybody will be happy and peace will reign supremely in the state,” the governor said.

Owoeye assured that the 7th Assembly under his watch will not be blinded by party affiliation, adding that members owe have a duty to the people and future generation to rise above petty party politics and deliver the dividends of democracy to the good people of Osun State.
