First, it is a demonstration that, in Oyo State, we have moved away from the politics of brigandage and getting results at all costs because we allow the will of the people to prevail.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut we are proud that it is our state and we are not doing anything to jeopardise the peace, progress, and development of our state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe did our best on the four pillars of our administration during the first term. We have some areas which we need to improve upon and the Elders\u2019 Council will provide the platform to look at those areas where we need improvement and come up with suggestions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet me commit that every other month, I will be having a scheduled meeting with the Elders\u2019 Council so that you can contribute, and for us to have a remarkable difference from how we operated in the first term.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
