Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah’s 2023 Inaugural Speech

Let me also thank all those who contributed to the success of this governorship struggle. It began as a tiny conception, as small as the mustard seed. Today, it has acquired a life of its own. Time constrains me from naming all of you, one by one, who contributed to the maturation of this idea. However, let me be quick to put on record the invaluable contributions of the immediate past governor of Enugu State, Rt. Hon. Ifeanyichukwu Ugwuanyi, Gburugburu The Great, to what we are celebrating today. Posterity will certainly be kind to you for your deep sense of patriotism. To you all, I remain forever grateful.

Gombe State Governor Inuwa Yahaya’s 2023 Inaugural Speech

Exactly four years ago, I stood before you, conscious of the responsibility placed on my shoulders, and took the oath of office as the 4th civilian governor of Gombe State. I am grateful to God Almighty for giving me the wisdom and courage to deliver on our promises which led to my successful re-election, culminating in the new oath of office that I have just taken. I am profoundly grateful for the trust you have placed in me. Your unceasing outpourings of support, prayers and goodwill shall continue to inspire me each day as we work together to build a better Gombe State, one that will become a source of pride to future generations and a model to the rest of the country.

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. Indeed, I must testify that if it had not been the Lord, we would not have seen this day.

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.
