He stressed that the welfare of the entire Ondo populace must guide their decisions and actions.

“This is a call to service, not celebration,” Aiyedatiwa declared. “We expect nothing less than dedication, integrity, and performance from each of you.”

“To your family members, friends, and associates, I offer congratulations and a word of caution,” the governor said.

“While we appreciate their support, they must not put the new appointees under undue pressure by soliciting unnecessary favours.”
