“I have been in election tribunals down to the Supreme Court and can attest to the level of distraction a Governor and his administration face on account of some needless litigations. But a calm disposition, open-mindedness and inclusiveness towards everybody; including those who instituted litigations against you, is what defines a true leader”, Bello said.
He urged Governor Oyetola to build on the policies that have defined him as a good ambassador of the All Progressives Congress, APC while sustaining the programmes and developmental agenda of his state in line with the party’s manifesto.
He said after all the legal tussles, the lesson is to ensure that the citizens are repaid with good governance which is a proof that their confidence in their leader were not misplaced.
