I wish to state with high sense of responsibility that Governor Adeleke is running an inclusive government and he is committed to the yearnings and aspirations of the youths and the elderly and he will deliver on his promises to the people. I am also using this opportunity to appeal to all stakeholders to join Governor Adeleke in consolidating his achievements and move the state forward.”
