BE SERVANTS TO YOUR PEOPLE, PRESIDENT TINUBU TELLS APC GOVERNORS 25-11-23
By Sadiq Aminu President Bola Tinubu, on Friday, advised governors elected on the platform of the governing All Progressives’ Congress to remain servants of their people by putting the people’s interest first and working for the good of their states.
“Make sure that everyone is carried along. You are now the servants of the people,” Tinubu said when he received the Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, the returning Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodimma, and the Governor-Elect of Kogi State, Ahmed Ododo, at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja, on Friday.
Ododo and Uzodimma were at the Villa to present their certificates of return to the President who expressed satisfaction with the outcome of the elections he described as free, fair, and peaceful.
Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, revealed this in a statement he signed on Friday titled ‘President Tinubu to APC governors: remain servants of the people.’
To the governors, Tinubu said, “You worked hard for this victory. I am very proud of you, but the real challenge has only started, and it will stare you in the face.
“That is the challenge of good governance. Make sure that everyone is carried along. You are now the servants of the people. To God be all the glory for the victories, and may God guide you.”
He advised that once Nigerians and their concerns become the focal point of the governors’ plans and actions, not only will governance be easier, but they will enhance the value of their states and the people will have new opportunities to grow and enjoy a new standard of living.
“This must be your driving focus as governors, but especially as governors elected on the platform of our great party,” he emphasized.

The appointment follows “the recently concluded selection process by the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation,” a statement signed by President Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, read Friday.
