Speaking during a familiarisation visit to the Governor in his office at the State Government Secretariat, Abere, Osogbo, Chinade, said the good works of the Governor had endeared him to security operatives including men of the Nigerian Army.
He acknowledged the numerous achievements of the Governor, especially his management of the security of the State that had seen Osun remains one of the safest states in the country.
