In a remark, the Chairman of Joint Negotiating Council, Mr. Bayo Adejumo said this was the first time the State would be having a worker friendly Governor and that the Union needed to reciprocate the gesture by voting Governor Oyetola in the July 16th gubernatorial election in the State.

Also, speaking, the State’s Head of Service, Festus Olowogboyega lauded Governor Oyetola for his outstanding qualities that stands him out as true leader who understand the yearning and aspirations of his people.
