Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State, weekend, said his administration was aiming to leave lasting impression in the state in the next 13 months than it started, hence the decision to bring in fresh competent hands to drive the government’s dream of ending very strong. Speaking at the swearing-in of two new commissioners in the State Executive Council, the governor urged people of the state and Nigerians to give total support to President Muhammadu Buhari, to enable him drive the desired change the country needed.
Swearing in Chief Tom Uloko and Gideon Obakhan, as commissioners, Oshiomhole said: “Nigerians wanted change and that was why they voted for a man who has the capacity to provide leadership for that change as represented by President Muhammadu Buhari and we all can see that things are already changing.
“I want to assure our people that we appreciate that we are in hard times, finances are dwindling, a lot of money was stolen from our treasury by previous governments, but we are not lamenting.
The world appreciates and respects the integrity of the Nigerian President and that is why they all have been giving a helping hand to ensure that what was stolen is returned to the treasury and those involved are brought to justice. So, let me use this opportunity to ask you to give your total and unqualified support to our President so he can drive the change that Nigeria desires.”
On the new commissioners, Oshiomhole said: “They are coming on board at a time of dwindling resources, very little available revenue and yet, the expectation of our people is understandably increasing by the day and it is our task to try and perform the magic. Chief Tom Uloko is not a stranger to Edo public service.
He has been around for quite some time and he has served this state diligently in various capacities. I believe with Tom Uloko joining the State Executive Council, we are bringing on board a very seasoned public officer who will add value to the governance of this state to the benefit of our people.
Gideon Obhakhan is also somebody who has served our state. I felt, therefore, that knowing Gideon as I do, knowing his concern for the state, his passion for development, his managerial competence, a very promising young executive, I believe that he brings on board, not just the energy of a young man, but also the insight and the creativity of people of his generation.”
