He, therefore called on the people of the state to support the incoming governor in order to have a successful tenure of office.
He said, “I will want to first of all thank God for being so merciful to the people of Osun State. I think people of the state has experienced different types of administrations and I know for sure it was because they realised which one served them better, that is why they decided to have the PDP back on the throne.
“It is a thing of joy and I want to say on behalf of the governor that we will not disappoint the aspirations of the people of Osun.
