I have not witnessed all these in the past and on behalf of all sons and daughters of Ijebuland, we thank you so much and I pray that Almighty Allah will continue to be with you and your household. I get
information about how you come day and night to inspect construction works and I know God will continue to strengthen you.
“My people in Ijebu, the governor has done his own, the people of Ijebu should not be ingrates. Your administration has been a peaceful and enjoyable one. When somebody has worked, there must be a reward for him. Amosun has worked for us and we must reward him for all the good works he has been doing, not only in Ijebu, but in the state at large.
Many Ijebu sons and daughters who spoke with our correspondent revealed that the governor deserved a second term, promising to work assiduously to ensure victory for the governor in the next governorship election in February 2015.

In his own view, the Ago Iwoye monarch maintained that what the Awujale said is the true reflection of all sons and daughters of Ijebu and when he has spoken, no one dares challenge his authority except God. “What Awujale said is correct and that is our minds. A right thinking people needs not to be told that the governor still need one
more term to complete all the good works he has started, so we should all rally round him for success during the next year poll.
