All Protocols observed.
I thank you all for coming to witness this solemn occasion
that is being marked by this brief ceremony. Twice this great party has
spoken and twice I have answered.
From all the 18 local government areas, I thank you. I
thank all the women of Ondo state, all the youths and all the men of
Ondo state. I thank all members of our great Party, the APC. Today you
have all voted for change and your foresight has laid a solid platform
for the liberation of our people. I accept this Honour to serve as
Governor, this call to duty, this divine responsibility to lead you
wonderful people. I accept this victory with every sense of humility and
responsibility. I thank you.
I cannot thank enough, my fellow compatriots during this
election, who had a separate conviction and voted elsewhere. They took
the guts to answer the call of democracy to make a choice. I believe it
is these resounding voices that have created this worthy moment which is
making this victory real and refreshing. I thank you.

Today’s victory is of God through the good people of Ondo
state. It is not for me or APC alone. It is a victory for the people of
Ondo state, irrespective of which side of the divide you stood during
the election. For me it is a call to service and a challenge to perform.
Although we all had different points of view before the election but
today, as members of one strong, vibrant and indivisible Ondo state
family, we are all united and resolute with one single objective to save
our beloved Ondo state.
With this new dawn, it is now time to rediscover and
reinvent ourselves. It is time to find what we lost, to rescue this land
and its people from the myriad of poverty and pains which daily assail
their lives. As patriots, it is now time to unite and revamp our
fortunes.
As Governor, we will take deliberate and decisive steps to
optimally harness our overall potential for greatness, prosperity, peace
and stability. YES WE WILL.
I cannot end this speech without sincerely thanking INEC
for conducting a free, fair, transparent and credible election in our
state. It is clear that this INEC means business in sanitizing our
electoral process and strengthening democracy. I like to put it on
record that in this election, we witnessed and confirm an INEC that is
truly responsible and independent.
May I also specially thank the security agencies,
particularly the Police, DSS, Army and Navy as well as the para military
agencies for true service to our fatherland. The conduct of these
security agencies during this election shows me that this country can be
greater if we want it to be.
For everything there is a time. A time to be born and a
time to die. A time to weep and a time to rejoice. A time to sow and a
time to reap. A time to campaign for vote and a time to Govern.
Ondo state people have voted for me as Governor for the a tenure of four years starting from February 25th 2017,
the ball is now in my court to provide leadership that will take our
people from a place of poverty and stagnation unto the path of hope and
irreversible progress. This I will do so help me God.
Thank you ladies and gentlemen.
