Benue State Governor Hyacinth Alia’s 2023 Inaugural Speech

Town after town and village after village, you waited for hours on end for our campaign train to arrive. That wait was not for Fr Alia or my Deputy Bar Sam Ode, _mni_ . You were waiting for Hope. Renewed Hope. And I want to assure you, Benue: Hope is here! We are faced with a situation of sustained insecurity, dampened morale from non-payment of salaries, pensions and gratuity, dilapidated infrastructure, a broken economy, an even more broken civil service, massive unemployment and underemployment, endemic corruption, and malaise. The list is long!

Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun’s 2023 Inaugural Speech

It is important that as we appreciate our past successes we recognize that we must work harder than we have ever done before. That is the way forward as we collectively march to the creation of our dream society guided by the mission statements in our “Building our Future Together” agenda. Looking back at what we have achieved together in the last four years, you will agree with me that we have delivered on virtually all the promises we made four years ago.

Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang’s 2023 Inaugural Speech

It is with great pleasure and immense gratitude to God that I address you today, as the sixth democratically elected Governor of Plateau State. It is by His grace that I stand before you today. To Him alone be all the power and glory. It is indeed with deep gratitude to God Almighty, the Lord Jesus and to all of the good people of Plateau State that today has become a reality. This indeed is the day the Lord has made and we will rejoice and be glad in it. It has been a long journey but through it all we trusted the Lord and He has carried us through mountains and valleys and conquered giants on our behalf.

Cross Rivers State Governor Bassey Otu’s 2023 Inaugural Speech

Permit me at this juncture to salute a man worthy of mention, our amiable and the immediate past Digital Governor of our State, Senator Professor Sir Ben Ayade CON, for standing firmly to uphold the principle of fairness, equity and justice by doing all within his powers to ensure that we do not jettison our rotation policy as this would have eroded the bonds of our trust and love for one another.

Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed’s 2023 Inaugural Speech

I wish to recall with extreme joy and gratitude that, on this day four years ago, I stood at this podium to take the oath of office and oath of allegiance as your Governor and to deliver my first inaugural address to a mammoth crowd like this one. I find it indeed humbling that forty-eight months, (that is, two hundred and eight weeks or one thousand four hundred and sixty days) later, here I am again to deliver my second and, by the provisions of our constitution, final inaugural address on the auspicious occasion of my swearing in as Governor of our great state for another four years.

Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s 2023 Inaugural Speech

Nobody anticipated how the ENDSARS protests, which started peacefully, would descend into the most destructive wave of violence Lagos has seen in almost 30 years. We lost tens of billions of Naira worth of public and private property 7. There were other disasters that our dear State and its residents had to confront, in these last four years. A spate of building collapses that claimed lives, and a massive gas explosion in Abule-Ado, among others.

Abia State Governor Alex Otti’s 2023 Inaugural Speech

On the 22nd of March this year, when the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) announced us winners in the bruising and long-drawn-out Abia gubernational elections, our first task was to head to church to give thanks to the Almighty God and to hand over the state to Him, knowing that anything left in His hands remains secure. He is the author and finisher, the foundation of all successful endeavours of mankind. Just like the Christain community did a few days ago, I use this solemn and formal occasion to rededicate Abia State to God Almighty.
