‘I think he has prepared for the Governorship seat, he prepared himself for it, he has put infrastructure that will last. I congratulate him for having the foresight and saving enough resources to make that his footprint remains permanent, very clever person. The infrastructure he took me through, the flyovers, the bridges, the hospitals and this complex, they are first class. He has done very well for himself and for Ogun State’.

Penpushing further reports that, Buhari  said he was optimistic that, Amosun who is resuming as Senator at National Assembly after his exit as Governor will give support for his administration as the President of the country, adding that he(Buhari) is in the good book of Amosun

 ‘I think he can continue to serve not only Ogun State, but the whole country. I am very pleased that I have been in his good books at least publicly so in the Senate, I believe where he is going to seat for four years and I am going to remain God willing for four years as the President, I will automatically assume that he will support me’.

The outgoing Governor in his speech noted that his administration tenure  will come to an end in a matter of days, adding that, ’even as we prepare to bow out of office, our desire to continue to contribute our quota to the socio-economic development of our dear State remains undiluted’.

He added, ’today’s event is an eloquent testimony of that desire. Even at the twilight of the tenure of our Administration, we continue to ensure that life becomes more comfortable and abundant for our people through infrastructural development.  

Penpushing also reports that, Amosun appreciated the efforts of the Federal Government at complementing the efforts of his administration towards the socio-economic development drive in Ogun State, adding that, ‘in keeping with the tradition of firsts in accomplishments in Nigeria, our dear State has continued to enjoy a pride of place, even in the programmes and policies of the Federal Government’.

‘The Government and the good people of Ogun State are eternally grateful to the Administration of President Muhammadu Buhari for considering our dear State for the execution and implementation of many projects and policies’.

‘We also appreciate the economic policies of the Federal Government which have continued to impact positively on the people of Ogun State. These include, but not limited to, policies such as encouraging patronage of made-in-Nigeria products, of which Adire Ogun is set to benefit immensely. There is also the concerted Agricultural Policy of the Federal Government on growing-what-we-eat, which has resultantly given birth to our dear State joining a league of rice-producing States through “MITROS Rice”.

‘Also, let me specially thank our dear President for releasing part of the Federal road construction refund and for the anticipated release of the balance in the coming months. At this point, it is also important that I thank the entire people of Ogun State for their support and cooperation in the last eight years.

‘We leave office with fond memories of the love and support we have received from our people. More importantly, we leave with our heads held high, and knowing that we have taken Ogun State a notch higher in terms of socio-economic development.
