The Baale of Molunkan Village via Lalupon in Lagelu Local Government Area of Oyo State, Rahman Adegboyega Lawal, has congratulated and tasked Oyo State governor-elect, Oluseyi Abiodun Makinde, on his victory to deliver on his campaign promises and also deliver on good governance.
Baale Lawal also tasked the governor-elect to be led by the fear of God and beware of sycophants around him, and to rely on God in the day-to-day administration of the state.
The Baale of Molunkan further stated that the governor-elect should also pay attention to the plights of pensioners in the state and employ graduates, and also reinstate civil servants illegally sacked and ensure prompt payment of salaries.
He also enjoined all Nigerians leaders and the led to abide by democratic principles, such as respect for human life, human rights and the rule of law, and also urged all Nigerians to eschew all forms of indiscipline and corruption and be resolute rather than lose hope in our struggle for a better future and nation.
He charged him to tackle the lingering issues of hunger, poverty, hopelessness, unemployment, decay infrastructure, high cost of goods and services and abandoned projects, and further boost security in the state and ensure the smooth take-over in the NURTW issue.
He also charged him on the need to open his doors for suggestions, ideas and advice on how to take Oyo State to a greater heights, as better times lie ahead of us, also he should not see himself as governor of a political party, but of Oyo State.
According to the Baale, it is my desire, hope, and prayer that, if the principle of good governance, transparency, accountability, consensus building, etc, being the hallmarks of governance, it would lead to accelerated development and prosperity for the people of Oyo State and Nigeria at large.
He implored the governor-elect to remember that the masses who voted him to power did not do that so as to inflict them with pains, therefore he should not betray trust and the enormous goodwill upon which he was voted for, hence, the need for understanding, mutual trust and perseverance for successful tenure.
He prayed God to guide and guard the governor-elect, thus calling on religions organisations to continue praying for him for a successful tenure.
