“I cannot be appointed as a minister if APC did not win election and moreover, the party recorded huge votes from Oyo state during the election.

“Six boreholes will be inaugurated in Ibadan today; I intend to drill three boreholes in each of the 33 local government areas across the state.

“Also, I have plan for farmers support programme that will assist farmers in areas of inputs and farm incentives.

“A digital training for 1,000 graduates is underway to make our youths self-reliance,’’ he said.

I seek for your prayers to enable me fulfill all the good intentions that will better the lives of our people.“ Shittu stated

Chied Akin Oke, the state chairman of the party, commended the minister for the gesture and urged him to do more.

Oke called on other appointees in the party to emulate the minister by remembering their root, which is the party.

It was reported that scores of APC supporters witnessed the occasion.

Highlight of the occasion was the handling of the two buses keys and custom papers to Chief Oke, the state chairman of the party.
