Rotimi Akeredolu
While speaking at his inauguration ceremony as the Ondo state
Governor on Friday, the newly sworn-in governor, Rotimi Akeredolu,
acknowledged the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC),
Bola Tinubu, and also paid tribute to John Oyegun, APC national
chairman for laying the foundation for his “resounding victory”.
Akeredolu, who enjoyed Tinubu’s support when he first ran
unsuccessfully for office in 2013, did not enjoy the ex-Lagos’s
governor’s support in 2016. He had declined to mention Tinubu at his
victory speech after winning the election, indicating both were not in
the best of terms.
After his swearing-in at the Akure Stadium on Friday, Akeredolu
proceeded to make his inaugural speech, and began with the
acknowledgement of dignitaries, particularly party chieftains and
leadership. He also took time to acknowledge governors, lawmakers, women
groups, journalists and security men.
He spent much time lauding the efforts of the Chairman of the APC,
John Oyegun, who he described as one who believed in the democratic
values and principles and stood for it when it mattered, adding that
Oyegun’s persistence resulted in the victory of the party in the
governorship polls.
Akeredolu, who was sworn in along with his deputy, Agboola Ajayi, said; “And
a special reverence must be reserved for our indefatigable party
chairman, Chief John Odigie Oyegun, whose strict adherence to lofty
principles and doggedness laid the foundation for our resounding victory
at the polls,” he said.
“This exemplary leader behaved like a true elder, whose sagely
presence in the village square not only professed rectitude but acted
it, resolutely, affirming nobility of the human spirit.
“Our party benefitted, tremendously, from his vast experience
in public service. We are eternally grateful. The verdict of history
shall be kind to him.”
Akeredolu whose oath of office was administered to him by the
Acting Chief Judge of the state, Temitayo Osoba, acknowledged the
presence of Tinubu at his inauguration, thanking him for attending the
event despite “the path he had travelled,” before now.
He thanked Tinubu for finding time to attend the event, despite the
differences in political opinions. His mention of Mr. Tinubu drew a
loud applause from the crowd. He also thanked the people for having
confidence in him, promising them that his administration would look
into the problems confronting the state.
“We understand the challenges, and these are quite apparent to
those within and outside the system. We will work towards addressing
these challenges in delivering on our mandate to our people,” he said.
“We particularly seek the support and cooperation of the civil
service and all organs of labour. We will drive efficiency through
capacity building and training needs assessment targeted at retooling
our civil servants. Be rest assured that your welfare, training,
capacity building and the overall interests of our people will be one of
the highest pillars of our mandate.
“We acknowledge the constraints that our current financial
situation will place on our ability to deliver on our mandate. We
however, believe that an adequate focus on transforming the current
socio-economic status of our state will lead to substantial internally
generated revenue for our state. We believe that Ondo state has the
required resources – human and material to ensure our sustainability in
the short, medium and long term.
“We are looking at building on our existing relationships with
local and international development partners. Many of them have been
there for us in the time past, and we reach out to them, especially at
the new dawn in the administration of our state. I am therefore using
this opportunity to reach out to businesses, manufacturers, private
investors as well as potential international partners. You are welcome
to Ondo state.”
Senate President Bukola Saraki; Yusuf Lasun, deputy speaker of the
house of representatives; Bisi Akande, and former governor of Osun
state, were among the guests at the occasion.
Some of the governors were Ayodele Fayose (Ekiti), Rauf Aregbesola
(Osun), Abiola Ajimobi (Oyo), Simon Lalong (Plateau), Yahaya Bello
(Kogi) and Abdullahi Ganduje (Kano).
Lai Mohammed, minister of information and culture; Kayode Fayemi,
minister of mines and steel; and Chris Ngige, minister of labour, were
all in attendance.
