Whilst noting that it is legitimate to have such ambitions, the governor however, said: “As an administration unwaveringly committed to delivering on its electoral promises, any activity that is capable of undermining the implementation of the ‘Building Our Future Together Agenda’ of the administration will not be tolerated.”

Governor Abiodun counselled that those who cannot wait till the appropriate time for 2023 electioneering process should take their leave to pursue their ambitions without constituting a clog in the wheel of the implementation of government programmes and activities.
