The governorship candidate of the National Conscience Party, NCP, in Ogun State, Ogbeni Lanre Banjo has congratulated the governor-elect of Ogun State, Senator Ibikunle Amosun on his victory during the governorship election.
He advised the Governor-elect to focus on people-oriented programmes that will meet the yearnings and aspirations of the people of Ogun State, who, according to him, have been misgoverned over the years.
He also advised him to work tirelessly in solving the basic problems in the state, especially on issues relating to qualitative education, healthcare, unemployment, roads, security and infrastructure.
Commenting on the electoral process, Banjo commended President Goodluck Jonathan on his refusal to influence the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Professor Attahiru Jega. “The credit for the success of the election goes first to the President for he can fire Jega if he refuses to tow his line,†he stated.
He also commended Professor Jega for his outstanding performance, boldness and commitment to principles.
