I want to thank Allah, exalted is He, for the historic event in which my brother Governors bestowed upon me the Chairmanship of the Nigeria Governors' Forum (NGF). The significance and the huge responsibilities of this office are not lost on me.

I hereby pledge to uphold the ideals and vision of the NGF whilst recognising and appreciating the eminent track record of the institution as a most credible, authoritative, influential and effective inter-party platform for consensus building and peaceful resolution and advancement of pan-Nigeria goals, interests and aspirations.

l will ensure regular consultation with all members in order to arrive at consensus on all issues for the advancement and promotion of national interest, peace, progress, and stability of the nation.

As a body, we will also continue our tradition of maintaining a close and cordial relationship with His Excellency the President, the National Assembly, all Federal and State institutions, the business community, the civil society, media, and development partners.

Finally, l wish to thank my dear colleagues for the confidence reposed in me as the new Chairman of NGF.

Honoured to be the new Vice Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum. I look forward to working with the new Chairman, His Excellency AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, the forum secretariat staff and all members of the forum as we strive for inclusive development at the subnational level and effective collaborations at the national level.

Let me use this opportunity to thank my brother Governors for their vote of confidence and support.

That means two Yoruba men hold both chairmanship and Vice position.
