The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress APC in the state, Dr. Moses Alake Adeyemo has attributed the improvement in the supply of electricity in the country to the commitment of the Tinubu administration to the revival of all critical sectors of the economy stating that the Minister of Power, Engineer Joseph Tegbe, would not disappoint Nigerians who deserved the best.
Adeyemo, who served as the deputy governor in the state between 2011 and 2019, made these remarks at the Oke-Ado, Ibadan Secretariat of the APC on Monday when he led members of the State Executive Committee of the party to receive Engineer Tegbe who paid a ‘thank you’ visit to the leadership of the Party following “the show of overwhelming support for his appointment by President Bola Tinubu as a minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria”.
The Minister, who assumed office in July this year, thanked President Tinubu for finding him worthy for the task of fixing the challenges in the nation’s power sector while he also expressed appreciation to many eminent citizens of Oyo state especially APC stakeholders who endorsed his nomination and gave him the needed support and encouragement.
His words; “I did not expect the degree of support and enthusiasm which my first and second appointments by President Tinubu attracted from all APC leaders, members and supporters for certain political reasons but I have made to realize that nothing is too much to be done for the progressive family and humanity as a whole. Particularly, I appreciate the current leadership of the party in the state for believing in us to deliver the good.
“President is determined to fix problems in the power sector and we are not leaving any stone unturned to achieve this goal. Nigerians can testify to the considerable improvement in electricity supply nationwide in recent weeks but we have not got to where we want to be as a force to reckon with in the global community. A lot of projects are ongoing in all parts of the country and the time most of them are completed, every part of the country would have constant power supply and we would all be proud of the Tinubu administration.
“In a few weeks from now, the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway will have a full installation of solar-powered street lights while mini solar grids will be constructedin 6 different locations in the state. The project in Ogbomoso is nearing completion and I can say it here that the little challenges being experienced by the contractors handling the project have been addressed and they will deliver the whole project very soon. The one in Saki which is aimed at fixing the age-long problems in Oke-Ogun and Ibarapa axis is equally receiving the right attention and hopefully, the darkness being experienced in those parts of the state.
“More importantly, we will spare no efforts to ensure that President Bola Tinubu gets reelected in 2027 and we are not going to stop at that as all the candidates of our great Party will get our full backing. I have opened talks with most of the aggrieved gubernatorial aspirants and I have no doubt in my mind that everything will be resolved in no time. We will work with all the Support Groups because we appreciate what they are doing in the interest of our great Party and our dear country as patriots.” Tegbe added.
Party leaders who were present at the occasion included; Dr. Taofeek Lamidi, Hon. Fatai Adesina, Alhaji Lateef Ajiboye, Olawale Sadare, Hon.
