Adeola added that he would incorporate the counsel offered by OBJ into his government’s plans and programmes if elected governor in 2027.
His words, “I am here to pay homage to our father, the father of the nation, a former President and a respected national leader. As you can see, we received a very warm reception.
We came to seek his support, his blessings and his guidance, and he graciously gave us all three.
In his remarks, he made his views loud and clear. He spoke passionately about the future of the state, his expectations and what he believes we must do to keep the state on the right track.
We have listened carefully, taken his advice to heart, and we will incorporate it into our plans and programmes as we move toward 2027.
It has been a very successful visit, and I sincerely thank the former President for the warm reception he extended to me and my deputy.”
