Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun has expressed warm appreciation towards members of his new media team for their contributions to his election as the Governor of the State.
The Governor expressed his gratitude when the team paid him a courtesy visit at his residence in Iperu-Remo, Ogun state.
Abiodun described the role of the media team as instrumental in his campaign and his eventual victory in the gubernatorial election.
He said: "You have all demonstrated the high level of commitment to the cause of our state and the vision we envisaged for the development of Ogun. You can best be described as " The Coalition of the Willing. You pasted our posters in the hearts of the people when some people were tearing them."
Describing the team as formidable, he said they stood against all oppressions from the then opposition and sold his campaigns to the hearts of the people.
"When people believed to be working for the opposition were pulling down our campaign bill boards and defacing our posters, you were all persevering and steadfast. Rather than took to violence, you took the project as personal projects and eventually worked for success.
“I thank you very much for persevering, I thank you very much for being there despite all odds, even when it was most challenging. I understand how challenging it can be when you are contesting against an incumbent government.
“Despite the limited resources you had to cater for the the needs of the campaign, you never deterred nor despaired. You were not motivated by financial or pecuniary gains. Some people were thinking I was paying you so much money, and that I was spoiling you with money. You have demonstrated a high spirit of sportsmanship and fair play in our polity, which I encourage people to emulate," he said.
The governor, however urged the team to keep working for the development of the state and continue to promote the programmes and policies of the government.
He promised that the cardinal programmes of his government were fundamental to the economic of the people of Ogun state.
On plans for job security for the unemployed graduates, he disclosed the opening of a job portal where industries coming to the state will employ Ogun indigines, who are skilled and competent.
He added that the government has resolved to revive the agric sector where 10,000 farmers will be given lands and supported with loan facilities in order to position Ogun state as the agricultural and food hub of the nation.
Meanwhile, Mrs Adebisi Olaotan, on behalf of the team appreciated the governor for identifying with the team.
She however, urged the governor to continue inspiring the team to work more in the interest of the state.
