Abiodun: Election Litigation Unnecessary Distraction

Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, has described the election litigations in the state, which ended at the Supreme Court on Friday as unnecessary distractions.
The governor also promised to devote the remaining three and a half years of his administration to work for the welfare and wellbeing of the people of the state.

Abiodun stated this at a Thanksgiving Service to mark his victory, held at the St. James’ Anglican Church, Iperu, Ikenne Local Government Area.
The governor said the period preceding the court judgement was a great distraction, which he had put behind him.

“Although this period has brought a lot of distractions, I am relieved it is now behind us, allowing us to fully focus on our unwavering commitment to lead Ogun State to new heights and make it a shining example amongst not just Nigerian states, but other states in Africa.
“With just three years and four months remaining in our term, we are determined to implement the rest of our sustainable legacies that will create jobs, foster individual prosperity and promote the well-being and welfare of all our citizens,” he said.

According to him, his administration has made Ogun one of the two most resilient states in Nigeria by achieving significant economic improvement in four years.
“We are now the number two state in Internally Generated Revenue. This means we can afford to build more roads and more houses. We can also afford to build more schools and do more people’s oriented projects across the state,” he said.

Abiodun appreciated President Bola Tinubu for standing by him through thick and thin as well as the All Progressives Congress (APC) for believing in him, saying their unflinching support contributed to the court victory.
