Abiodun inaugurates LG liaison officers, cautions them against competing with chairmen
Ogun State governor, Dapo Abiodun, on Monday, inaugurated the newly appointed Governor’s Local Government Liaison Officers, with a warning not to compete with their local government chairmen, but rather complement them to serve the people at the grassroots better.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony at the Oba’s Complex Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, the governor said as the closest to the grassroots, the GLOs have a duty to work closely with their council bosses by championing the course of development at the local communities and ensure that the people get the dividends of democracy.
He further warned them not to see their appointments as a means of corruptly enriching themselves from the public treasury, noting that as an administration that prides itself in upholding transparency and probity, it would not hesitate to relieve those found wanting of their appointments.
“Let me sound a note of caution to all the appointees. You are to complement your local government chairmen. You are not to compete with them. Let me again sound a note of caution to our officers not to see their appointments as a means of corruptly enriching themselves from the public treasury. As an administration that prides itself in upholding transparency and probity, we would not hesitate to relieve those found wanting of their appointments.
“Your appointments should be seen as a clarion call that demands excellent performance. This is to ensure greater efficiency and service delivery to our people. You are to be apostles of good governance in your respective Local Government Areas. You have been appointed at a time when the people have started getting used to high standard of service delivery and have also started enjoying higher dividends of their hard earned democracy.
“You must ensure that the initiatives of our Administration at encouraging self-employment, placing Ogun State on the global industrial map, and the drive of making Ogun State the investors destination of choice are given priority through positive attitude to visitors and residents alike”, the governor charged.
While calling on them to brace themselves for the tasks ahead, Abiodun urged them to contribute their quota towards the realisation of the ISEYA mantra.
He solicited for the support of the people and maintained that “the new appointees were chosen from the pool of highly qualified indigenes of our dear state taking into consideration variables like fairness, justice, equity and truthfulness”.
“Therefore, I wish to state that people who were not chosen at this moment should not regard this development as a disapproval of their desire to serve. Neither should it place a barrier in their contributions to the continued development of our dear State. There are still a lot of various opportunities to serve our state”, he added.
While reiterating that the appointees are to serve as a feedback mechanism through a two-way communication process between the government and the people, he enjoined them to justify the confidence reposed in them by demonstrating the ability to ride above situations and challenges while also remaining loyal to the cause of service to humanity.
The governor stressed that their performance would be reviewed regularly to ensure that his government, not only maintain, but improve on its level of performance generally.
He assured that his administration would continue to provide the enhancing and conducive environment for a participatory government, where mutual love, trust and cooperation exists.
Responding on behalf of the appointees, Semiu Lawal, thanked the governor for the confidence and trust reposed in them, promising that they would work hard to deliver on their mandates.

The leader of one of the foremost religious organisations in Nigeria, Bishop Chidi Anthony, president of Pentecostal Ministers Forum of Nigeria has outrightly condemned the killing of Fulani hunters in Uromi,Edo State and recapitulated that the killing hasn’t any religious undertone and has nothing to do with Christians in the country.
Reacting to a viral video where a Fulani man was seen threatening the entire Christians in the country and talking to the president of the country with so much impudence “what happened in Uromi is barbaric and shouldn’t be encouraged,if they had suspected that they were kidnappers, they shouldn’t have handed them over to the security operatives,not killing them instantly,such callous and act of dastardly such not be encouraged because we are one Nigeria ”
The PMF president was infuriated by the daring utterances of the Fulani guy on social media who threatened to kill and cause chaos in order to avenge the death of the Fulani hunters “I want to be very realistic,we shouldn’t encourage such threat that is capable of setting the nation on fire,why threaten to kill Christians, what happened in Uromi was not religious,I beckon on the security operatives to search and arrest him before he tears the nation apart”
Finally,he called on other religious leaders in the country to speak out at this point and defend the Christians in the country because they are not the ones that perpetuated the act “I want to implore the fathers of faith and other Christian bodies in the country to stand upright and defend the Christian faith because what happened in Uromi has absolutely nothing to do with the Christians ”
