He added, "I did not come to condemn anybody. I came to address the real issues affecting our people. We have a practical and structured plan that will tackle the challenges facing the state. Our blueprint is designed for the Federal Republic of Nigeria, but we are starting from Ogun State to demonstrate that it can work."
