The out-going governor of Ogun State, Ibikunle Amosun says that Gbenga Daniel, his predecessor, handed over ‘a failed state’ to him in 2011, Igbere Tv reports.


He alleged that Gbenga Daniel handed over a state that was characterised by poor economy, deplorable infrastructure and insecurity, which prevented investors from investing in the state.


Amosun, who was represented by Taiwo Adeoluwa, secretary to the state government, spoke at a press conference to launch Ogun State Investment Promotion and Facilitation Agency. He said unlike him, Dapo Abiodun, governor-elect of the state, will inherit an economically viable state.


He mentioned some of the achievements of his administration to include increasing the internally generated revenue (IGR) of the state and improving the ease of doing business in the state.


He said; “When we came in 2011, Ogun State appeared to have failed as a State. Investors were running away from the State because of the high level of insecurity in the State but today, the State is ranked 4th on the list of State with the ease of doing business.


As at the last count, our activities as a government has attracted 473 mega companies which some investing as much as N2billion. Not only that, we took the IGR of the State from the paltry sum of N700million to N7billion per month. But we are not relenting on all these achievements.


We know we have been very successful, but we need to consolidate on the success we have achieved and that is why we are establishing this agency." Igbere Tv reports.

Amosun will return to the senate after winning his bid to represent Ogun central senatorial district.

politics is plenty money. he is leaving there going into the senate to make more money. no wonder they don't wanna leave active politics.

Nigeria Politicians are all the same. They always complain of meeting empty treasure but go and check what they acquired during those 'empty treasure' years.

Do you all always have to complain? do your best with the little you met and watch people rate your performance.You all complain of empty purse but grow fatter and richer before your tenure runs out.

So are you planning to leave an empty treasury

I felt so too bt are we ever objective in our opinions of our leaders in this country? How do we even score them and hold them accountable.

Sir, don't be a bad carpenter, don't blame your tolls, a failed state, more reason you're elected.

Proud and haughty felow!

BuhariIsBURIED:
I don't knw why I dislike this guy, he is the worst governor in the whole world

He lacks humility!

Please, tell Imo incoming governor Emeka Ihedioha not to sing this type of song!

Nigeria herself is a failed state, we are looking for a repair. if u were honourable enough u should av resigned. but now u are a failure!

True

Amosun is right.

This dude spent 8 years with nothing to show for it except unmotorable uncompleted bridges littered all over the state. Most useless governor since the creation of Ogun state. He makes mediocre governors like OGD and Osoba look like geniuses.
