The visit was in fulfilment of the Governor’s decision to reach out to all the contestants in the election and seek their cooperation and input in the governance of the state.
Governor Oyebanji, who was accompanied on the visit by the Special Adviser on Political Matters, Chief Jide Awe, was received by Ambassador Bejide.
The two leaders held discussions on the development of the state.
Recall that Governor Oyebanji, shortly after the official announcement of the June 20 election, reached out by telephone to the candidates of the PDP and ADC, Dr Wole Oluyede and Ambassador Bejide, respectively, with a promise to follow up with a personal visit.
The Governor has since visited Dr Oluyede at his residence, together with some leaders of the party, before Monday’s visit to the ADC candidate’s residence.
Governor Oyebanji’s policy of inclusion is geared towards promoting unity, peace, understanding, and mutual respect among the citizens as key enablers of sustainable development and growth.
