The governorship candidate of Accord, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, has congratulated Oyo State governor, Engr Seyi Makinde, on his victory in Saturday’s gubernatorial election.
Adelabu, in a statement he personally signed, said Makinde’s victory was a call to do more and serve the people diligently.
The Accord candidate urged the people to go back to their daily lives, adding that election should not be a do or die affair.
“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 pepole. 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.
“The Governor should especially focus on the poor state of security in the state, equally important is the state of the environment which needs urgent attention. Our 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 regains its status as a pacesetter state. Also not to be left out is urgent industrialisation of the state and creation of jobs for our teeming unemployed youths.
“Once again, accept my hearty congratulations,” Adelabu said.
