NewsReport gathered that in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Kunle Somorin, on Saturday, the governor said he took the decision to identify with the plight of the Ogun people, who are faced with the twin challenges of fuel scarcity and the naira swap.

While expressing his delight about the 47th anniversary, the governor said that his administration shared the pains being currently experienced by the people in the state as a result of the redesigned naira note swap and fuel scarcity.

According to him, the plight being endured by the people is a great sacrifice that could be offered by them for a better Nigeria, disclosing that all efforts were being made to ease the situation.

He said: “The issues of scarcity of fuel and new naira notes have been taken up with relevant authorities to make life easier and more meaningful for the people.

“As an administration voted into office by the people, it will be insensitive to ignore the plight of the people and continue with the re-election campaigns when people cannot do business with their hard-earned money and cannot get fuel.”

He, however, promised to continue with the campaign once the crises cease and normalcy returns to the economic activities of the people.

He called on the people to persevere, as the current situation would ease up very soon.
