Responding, the Governor-elect said “President Weah’s goodwill message, alongside many others we have received from eminent personalities, within and outside Nigeria, including visitations by our co-contestants from other parties at the last elections, have further strengthened our resolve to meet the yearnings of the good people of Ogun State and the huge expectations of all and sundry. I am inspired to deliver focused, fair, just and equitable governance”.
