Chief Osoba who said that he has been vindicated by Amosun’s victory “ we want to thank God; to God be the glory for what He has done in the lives of the progressives, not only in Ogun State.

I accepted the verdict of the people of Ogun State which I had reservation about. Nevertheless, I accepted the situation. I expect nothing less from the opposition parties and I expect them to congratulate the new governor.

“The people of Ogun should now be looking up to good governance; a government that is responsive to the wishes and yearning of the people; not a government that will be dictating and be arrogant to the ordinary folks whose mandate it is carrying”.
