“I enjoin you to implement people–oriented projects and programmes, the people have put you there to work and serve them, not to lord it over them. Be gracious to your constituents and those who contested against you. It is not because you are better than them that you have succeeded, it is the grace of God, don’t allow success get to your head, remember, it is only a three-year tenure, before you subject yourselves to the people’s verdict”, Osibodu stated .
