Representing Odogbolu Constituency, Hon Adebowale Ojuri while speaking to www.timelineng.com recently divulged that its been very tough, though our government is more prepared than many of the PDP controlled State because we already started the implementation of Treasury Single Account in Ogun State, we have been able to shoot-up our Internally Generated Revenue a bit. But, because the Governor’s performance in the first term was above expectation, the people has also doubled their expectations on him this time around and its going to be difficult we all are witness to the drop in allocations due to fall in oil.So hopefully if some of our money are refunded by the FG, it will do us a lot of good to in continuation of infrastructural development” The handsome dude while giving praises to his colleagues led by the Speaker, says ” the relationship that exist between the executive and the legislature in the State  has been responsible for the success we have recorded so far, we have been able to work together even with the little resouces, and am certain we will continue in that regards as we progresses”    On his own achievement, Ojuri assures that he has been able to give adequate representation in terms of legislating and general supports in his constituency.
