“We express gratitude to the government of Governor Oyetola, for the necessary recognition accorded our Union as major stakeholders in the Osun project. This is another reason why we are also assuring him of our support. This is a bold statement from the Osun State Council of NURTW to always support your programmes and ideas that would bring the State to attain its goals,” he said.

Also speaking, the Chairman of the Lagos Council and Vice-Chairman of South-West Zone of the Union, Musiliu Ayinde Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, applauded Oyetola for being supportive of the Union in Osun, adding that the Union’s commitment to work for his return to office com 2022 is sacrosanct.

While responding, Governor Adegboyega Oyetola commended the management and members of Osun Council of NURTW, for the open show of support for his Administration, assuring that his administration would continue to invest in human and infrastructural development for the benefits of different associations in the State.

He described the endorsement as a manifestation of good governance that the Administration has provided since inception, noted that he would not take it for granted but rather see it as encouragement to do more for the generality of the people of the State.

This is a joy that cannot be hidden, I am extremely happy today that a notable Union like NURTW could come out in thousands to endorse our administration. I appreciate you for your solidarity and show of love. As a government, we will never take it for granted. It is always a thing of joy for people to appreciate your little effort. I thank you for appreciating the modest achievements that God has done through our efforts in almost three years.

“It is very important for you to go and register and collect your voter’s cards. There is still opportunity to do so. This is the only power to further prove your support for us particularly in the next election. As said by your Chairman, we are here as a government for all and nothing will stop us from putting the welfare and well-being of our people at the front burner.

“I am assuring you that we will do more than what we have done. We are constructing several kilometers of roads to change the face of infrastructure and ensure improved standard of living for all. Our Adminstration is committed to making life easier for all, and that is why we have been running all- inclusive, participatory and Goverment-for-all as reflected in the successes we have recorded so far. We have seen your commitment, support and cooperation so far, and I am assuring you that soon, we will attend to your requests”, Osun Governor expressed.
