They commended the state governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, who has made it possible.

They spoke separately during the governor’s assessment tour to the Abeokuta North Local Government on Friday.

It was his last port of call, as he had visited the other 19 local government areas.

Oba Gbadebo in his remarks at the event which held at the Ita Iyalode area said the level of infrastructural development could be likened to what had happened in 20 years.

He said, “We are here to testify that the past three and half years of Amosun’s government has been like 20 years of development in our state.

“We have come to appreciate politics of good roads, politics of good schools and health facilities.

“We believe that the person who did all this within this short time will do more if given the opportunity because the best is yet to come.”

On his own part, the Osile,Oke-Ona Egba, Oba Adedapo Tejuoso, described Governor Amosun as a beloved son of Egbaland, who has changed the face of Ogun State, urging residents to give him another chance to complete the good work he has started.

He said, “The work he has started in three and half years should be completed. If they are abandoned, it will be shameful to all of us. He should be given a chance to return to office to complete his good works.”

The Agura of Gbagura, Oba Alidu Laloko, noted that the present administration had made good its electoral promises, describing the governor as a man of vision who did not need too much of campaign for a second term.

He said, “Amosun has performmed creditably well. He does not need to campaign too much for a second term. His works will speak for him. If he has not done well, we will not come out to welcome him and show our appreciation.”

The Olowu of Owu Kingdom, Oba Adegboyega Dosunmu said, “We are not resting our oars on our support for the governor’s good works. We still want to use our votes to send him on another four years of the rebuilding mission, to fully re-construct our roads and all sectors of the state.”

Governor Amosun appreciated the civil servants and residents for their massive support, which he said has brought about the success of the tour of the 20 local government areas in the state, assuring them that all the requests of various communities would be attended to without delay.

He said, “We have gone round to see the hardwork we have put into rebuilding our dear State and listened to your requests for further development.

“We have taken note of all that you have told us. Let me assure you that we will not let you down.”
