Amosun And His People By Biola Kadiri Many people have made different comments on the passion and zeal with which Senator Amosun, Ogun state governor, has carried on the business of governing the state since he took over about three years ago. Some, including foreign visitors, have often wondered how the governor has been able to do so much in a short period. A visitor once marvelled at the extent of love and admiration extended to the governor where ever he went, including those whose structures were affected by the ongoing rebuilding process. Governor Amosun loves the people who in turn reciprocate and give him their understanding and love. He has well thought-out plans for the people of the state. His electioneering campaign took him and his team to every nook and cranny of Ogun. In the process, he met the people in their natural environment, obtained first-hand information on their needs, which is now assisting him in planning and providing for these needs. Before his foray into politics, Amosun had been a cheerful giver, and had through many philanthropic activities raised the standard of living of many people. He readily identifies with the people across board. In his determination to provide the good people of Ogun state the best possible, the governor invited individuals of proven integrity from various walks of life to team up with him. The positive results of their efforts abound across the state. The transformation currently going on is the product of a good team work. Prudent financial management has contributed immensely to move the state forward as resources are being judiciously used for maximum effect. The wife of the governor, Olufunso Amosun, also came up with a programme that affects mankind in all facets of life. Through the Uplift Programme, the needs of the aged, children, unemployed, market women and men are being provided for on a regular basis. There is hardly an aspect of humanity that has not benefited from the scheme. This is a further testimony to the true love that the governor and his wife have for the people of Ogun State. A leader loves his people, the people trust their leader.
