ABEOKUTA: The Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun has described his victory at the Appeal court as “triumph of truth and democracy”.

Abiodun stressed that the victory has rekindled his administration’s agenda to build the future of the state, pledging that every village, hamlet, town or city would not be left out in the scheme of inclusive development.

He lauded the judiciary for standing as impartial arbiter with courage, fairness and candour.

The Governor stressed, “Today’s victory is a triumph of truth and democracy. I give all the glory to the Almighty God, for I remain a testimony to his faithfulness.”

He added, “We specially thank our team of lawyers led by Prof. Taiwo Osipitan for their exemplary professionalism, diligence and masterful delivery of points of law.

“We appreciate the leadership of our great party, All Progressives Congress (APC), for their steadfastness and support.

“We are equally grateful for the solidarity and unwavering support of the APC faithfuls across the 236 wards of our state and their “Omoluwab”i conduct throughout this tortuous journey to the land of total victory.

“May we also applaud the sincerity of all the other 80 parties that have, even before now, responded positively to our hands of fellowship. Like true sportsmen and women, they have continued to identify with our Government and only last week passed their vote of confidence in us. We will continue to keep open the window of fellowship to all political actors and indeed all interest groups.”

The governor said, “Life is hinged on hope, our Administration has restored hope to the people and we shall not relent until every citizen of the State attains individual prosperity whilst ensuring adequate security and putting the state on the path of sustainable development”.

“Whilst thanking all the good people of Ogun State who have entrusted us with their mandate, again we remain committed to providing a focused and qualitative governance that will be inclusive, participatory, accountable, transparent, fair, just and equitable.

“The time has now come for all our adversaries to sheath their swords and join forces with our Administration, if indeed the motive is to serve the good people of our dear state. The common goal is the economic development of Ogun State and individual prosperity of our citizens.

“Together, we can build a secure, purposeful and prosperous state. Let all of us join hands to build a better future and engender unity, peace, development, through good governance that Ogun has witnessed in the last five months of our Administration.”
