The Convener of Grassroots Engagement for Good Governance, GRENFGG, Adeolu Charles Iwakun has charged Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa and President Bola Tinubu led federal government to run an inclusive government that would focus on the needs and yawnings of the masses.
In a new year message made available to Starnews Nigeria on Monday, Iwakun extends his heartfelt wishes to the people of the state while praying for the prosperity, unity, and progress of the State and Nigeria at large.
Expressing his condolence to the families of late governor Rotimi Akeredolu, he said “I condole with the good people of Ondo state, specifically the new Governor, His Excellency, Lucky Orimisan Ayedatiwa, on the loss of your former principal, H.E Rotimi Akeredolu, I pray God grants you the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.
“I understand that your ascension into this exalted office comes with challenges and huge responsibilities.
While charging the new government in the state to be proactive in the discharge of its duties, Iwakun stressed that the welfare of citizens must be a priority.
“Your leadership presents an opportunity to prioritize the welfare of Ondo State masses, more importantly those at the grassroot level. We implore you to adopt policies and schemes that will uplift and empower the people, with keen focus on the youth, agriculture and education sectors. Your commitment to carrying everybody along including engaging the youths and those at the grassroot will be pivotal in fostering sustainable development in Ondo State.
“Furthermore, your invaluable support in realizing the dream of the approved Ondo Seaport, particularly given your heritage in the riverine Ondo South, would significantly contribute to economic growth and job creation in Ondo State.
In his message to Tinubu-led administration, the convener urged him to adopt people’s friendly policies in steering the nation forward.
“In the same vein, our wishes extend to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. We acknowledge his efforts in steering the nation but we implore him to intensify efforts towards people-centric policies, focusing on welfare and innovative measures aimed at alleviating poverty and economic hardships faced by Nigerians.
“We urge both leaders to implement monitoring schemes and ensure the effective execution of poverty alleviation programs, ensuring they reach the grassroots level, where they are most needed.
“May this new year mark the beginning of positive transformations and sustainable progress for our dear nation and Ondo State as we pray for strength to bridge the gap between the government and the governed.
“Happy New Year filled with hope, unity, and the collective pursuit of a better future for Nigeria and Ondo State!” He concluded.
