Acting President Yemi Osinbajo has urged Nigerian governors to rely on former governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole, saying he (Oshiomhole) is a man of his words.
Osinbajo, while speaking, in Abuja, on Thursday, at the valedictory ceremony in honour of the former Edo and Ondo state governors said Oshiomhole is a man of his words and can be relied on.
“All of us are extremely proud of your achievements. Adams Oshiomole is a man whose words you can rely on. As for mimiko, Iroko has continued to be Iroko. Let me pray that God Almighty will help you both,” Osinbajo said.
Also speaking, Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State said: “I will hand you over to God. It is a different ballgame in office and out office.”
Also, the former governor of Akwa Ibom State, Victor Attah, said he regreted the fact that the Nigerian Governor Forum was split among party lines.
Attah urged members of the forum to always remember that the issue of governance for which the forum was created goes beyond parties.
“I was personally aggrieved when the governors forum was split. It goes beyond political parties. NGF deals with issues of governance.
“How you will leave off depends on how you take office. Whether you will come back depends on how you performance,” he said.
