Also in his remarks, the immediate past Governor of the State, Dr. Fayemi said: “Generally speaking, I think we have a lot to thank God for and we must thank our Governor(Oyebanji), everywhere we turn to its BAO, our leader and I do exchange notes regularly, when I was coming back to the country yesterday morning, I travelled with somebody from the Senate from London and he said thank you very much for the Governor. This is all due to the way our Governor has conducted himself and how he conveyed his sense of humility and service to the party both at the national and the state levels, and that is why we are all gathered here to happily work together with him to accomplish the task of greater development for the people”.
