President Bola Tinubu says governors are critical to the developments
that citizens are yearning to see in the country.
Tinubu spoke via a congratulatory message to Abdulrahman
Abdulrazaq, governor of Kwara, and Seyi Makinde, governor of Oyo, after their
emergence as chairman and deputy chairman of the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF).
The president also congratulated Hope Uzodinma, governor of
Imo, and Uba Sani, governor of Kaduna, who were also chosen as chairman and
deputy chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF).
In a statement on Thursday, Abdulaziz Abdulaziz, a media
aide to the president, quoted Tinubu as urging the new officials to discharge
their duties diligently.
“I congratulate the
governor of Kwara state, His Excellency Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, on his
emergence as the chairman of the Nigerian Governors Forum (NGF), and the
governor of Imo state, His Excellency Hope Uzodinma, on his election as the
chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF),” Tinubu said.
“In the same vein, I also congratulate His Excellency Seyi
Makinde, the governor of Oyo state, and his Kaduna state counterpart, His
Excellency senator Uba Sani, on their elections as deputy chairmen for the two
respective forums.
“As chief executives of states, governors are critical to
the overall success of our administration and the desire for a Nigeria that
works for all.
“As an important
fulcrum in our journey to a more prosperous and safe country, what states do or
do not do matters a lot. I am therefore obliged to ask the new leaders to use
their good offices to bring about a convergence of vision between the federal
government, under my leadership, and governments at the state level.
“It is my prayer that you acquit yourselves diligently in
discharging the responsibilities bestowed on you through this election.”
