“It is imperative to inform you that our decision to dissolve the last Executive Council was well-informed, consequent upon wide consultations, and in response to the yearnings of our people.

“The decision was devoid of political undertones or misgivings. It was basically carried out in the overall interest of the State. As you can rightly observe, some of these commissioners and special advisers have been with us since the beginning of our second term, others are fresh hands with proven core competencies in their chosen careers. All of these are geared towards enhancing our development trajectory.”

He appreciated the State House of Assembly under the leadership of Olamide Oladiji for the speedy screening and confirmation of the Commissioner nominees, which he said was a testament to the abiding faith, mutual trust, and good working relationship between the Executive and Legislative Arms of government in Ondo State.
