While promising to deliver on his campaign promises to the people, he reversed the official name of the state from “State of Osun” to “Osun State” as well as its appellation from “The State of the Virtues” to “The State of the Living Spring”.

He said: “I am well aware of the fact that my responsibility as governor and chief security officer entails meeting the expectation of our people.

“Under my watch, I will correct past injustice, corrupt acts or policies by previous administration which are against the collective interest of our people.”
