He is young, versatile, patriotic, diligent and highly committed to good governance.
He exudes confidence and determination on his assignment as Executive Chairman of AmuwoOdofin local government and has not left anyone in doubt that he has truly performed, and he has promised to continue to deliver on his promises till his last day in office, so as to justify the confidence the people have in him to have elected him twice to preside over the affairs of the locals, a feat he promised to continue to cherish by working assiduously for the people.
While on an inspection and completion of some ongoing road constructions, Engr. Valentine
Oluwaseyi Buraimoh spoke briefly about his plan and assured that he will ensure all ongoing
projects are completed before the end of his tenure, while he will continue to work till his last day
in office.
It’s been about 7 years in the saddle as Executive Chairman; how will you describe it?
It’s a call to service and I can say it’s been a wonderful experience. I am extremely grateful to the people of Amuwo Odofin for electing me to preside over their affairs. I can say categorically that I am better equipped for greater responsibilities now, as the office of the chairman has strengthened me and given me leverage that can make me excel wherever I find myself in the future.
You have just inspected some projects that are ongoing, and while you have just opened one of the roads your administration rehabilitated, are you satisfied with the rate of work you have done?
I have taken it upon myself to justify the confidence reposed in me by the people of Amuwo Odofin, so I must work for them. The council area has been turned into a construction site to ensure that our people enjoy motorable roads. The gigantic administrative block is ongoing and will be completed in record time, like we promised when the health centre was being constructed. So far, so good. I am comfortable with the level of work done. I won’t relent and will continue to work for my people.
Fortunately, as a politician with the training to serve the people, I won’t relent and will work till my last day in office. As a student of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu School of thought, the well-being of the people is my major concern, so, aside from the roads that are being constructed, empowerments are being done regularly to ameliorate the suffering of our people, youth development through trainings, etc.
Lastly, in view of the good job you are doing, are you certain your successor will be able to continue or even match you in the delivery of projects?
I am a democrat; it’s the decision of the party to ensure the person that will be taking over from me is also a person with an uncommon commitment to good governance, someone who has the interests of the people at heart and is a diligent administrator whose passion for work has been tested before.
And to the question, since I won’t impose a successor, I am certain the party will provide a suitable
successor that will kick off where we are going to stop and I am certain we have so many credible people who can deliver too.
