He said, “we will not disappoint the people who trusted us and keep giving us the mandate to govern. It is not in our DNA to disappoint.

“Whatever challenges we are facing can only be temporary. Our commitment and passion to serve our people is undiminished.

“We remain resolute to lay a solid foundation and preside over the most peaceful and the most prosperous era in the annals of this state. We shall fulfil our mandate because our best is yet to come.

He flayed critics and naysayers who last year alleged that RLG was for the purpose of the election that was to come up later in the year, thanking God that such critics have been proven wrong.

According to him, “they predicted that OYES would fail, they predicted that O’MEALS would fail, they even predicted that O’REAP would fail. Then of course, they predicted that we would not win re-election.

“They also predicted that the alliance that produced the All Progressives Congress (APC) would collapse in six months. Then, they predicted that the APC Presidential Candidate would not win the election.

We can now laugh at their puerile and malicious predictions that were doomed to fail ab initio. When their predictions failed, their next move now is to cowardly attack our families”. The Governor told the gathering.

This was in a veiled reference to orchestrated lies on Tuesday that his son was arrested over money laundering.

“We believe in supporting whatever thing that is local and indigenous, this is a project that we believe in, it will be cheaper and affordable it will help bring down poverty.

“Also in Airtel, we believe that if we support RLG we will be helping the country, the state of Osun in tackling the scourge of unemployment”. The communication boss emphasised.
