Abimbola Abatta, Osogbo
Osun State Governor, Gboyega Oyetola, has reiterated his commitment to the welfare and security of the people just as he pledged to develop workable strategies with security agencies to reduce crime to the barest minimum.
Oyetola also reassured residents of the state to continue to govern with the fear of God and continue to deliver good welfare packages to the residents of the state.
The Governor gave the assurance in his address at Ramadan lecture organised by Muslim Political Awareness Front (MUPAF) held at Nelson Mandela Freedom Park in Osogbo.
He assured that his administration would continue to support security agencies to be able to perform optimally in securing lives and properties of the people of the state.
Oyetola tasked the residents to continue their support for his administration especially on the issue of security of lives and properties.
“We should adhere to the lessons of Ramadan, it is the month of peace, joy, love and giving to one another. Let us do good and help each other, God will judge us based on our deed. Don’t think evil of your brothers, you should make restitution with anybody we offend”.
“We that God has placed in power, it is a great test and we must do everything possible not to let Him down. We must do things with the fear of God. In this position I am today, God placed me there and sent me on purpose. I will continue to govern the state with the fear of God.”
Oyetola also tasked residents to collaborate with the government and security operatives to ensure for strength the security of the state.
“Let us join hands for the betterment of our state. The security of our state is paramount, security is very important, we are challenged on the issue of security in Nigeria, I thank God that we are expressing less issue of insecurity.
“We should all pay attention to security. The government is trying its best but you must assist us. Those that are causing insecurity are living within us, let us report them before they cause mayhem in our society.
“We must pray for our country. There is trouble in Nigeria. We must continue with prayer. We all have a role to play on the issue of insecurity, don’t leave it alone for the government. What we are hearing is not palatable in the country irrespective of tribe.”
In his lecture, an Islamic scholar, Sheikh Buhari Musa, charged residents of the state to continue to support the Governor in his bid to transform the state.
Sheikh Musa who commended the Governor for his unprecedented achievements within two years said the governor had performed tremendously well.
Describing Oyetola as a silent achiever, the Ilorin born Islamic scholar said what Oyetola had done within the short period of two years out weighed previous administrations.
