He congratulated the governor on emerging successful at the recently held gubernatorial polls in the state.
He also acquainted the governor with the ongoing FRSC end-of-year special patrol operations and traffic monitoring that brought him to Ondo State.
According to him, Ondo state was critical to the operations due to the number of corridors that existed in the State.
