‘Yes, there was a crisis, and we have been able to stabilize it. On behalf of the Executive Governor of our state, I want to use this medium to appreciate the security agencies for the roles played, the various union leaders as well as other sector stakeholders and well-meaning citizens of the state that come together to ensure that the kind of peace established and since enjoyed in Ogun State is not disrupted’, he said.

Penpushing further reports that Dairo while apologizing to the people of the state for any inconveniences the crisis might have caused them, noted that the government, based on its observations, will set in motion the needed steps to stabilise the system.
