“This composition of this committee stems from my desire to ensure a proper mix of various citizens with first-hand knowledge of the state of affairs in this state. You are selected because I know you have deep knowledge of our state and the aspirations of our people. You are also all fully aware of our five-point agenda, its making and the ideals that underlie our governance philosophy.
“Our approach must be practical and down to earth. Be aware as you have been that Osun is a special case demanding unique solutions. Your task is bigger than ensuring a seamless transition in partnership with the team from the side of the outgoing state government; I expect robust innovations and out-of-the-box ideas on how best to hit the ground running by November.
