Governors

"" I’m committed to good governance and democracy. My strong conviction is that good governance is only possible with the support of the people. After all, democracy is the government of the people, by the people, and for the people. So our policies are centered on the people. Everything we have been doing is for the citizenry. Free Education Policy for instance is to open up the space so that every child can access qualitative education that will release their potential. We are building people and re-energizing the state. Every policy comes with its own challenge but we keep improving on it with good leadership and technology. Free Education at the lower levels is complemented by slashed tuition fees at the tertiary level. This has greatly cushioned the effect of the current economic downturn as wards and parents are really grateful. Leadership exists for this kind of thing: improving the lives of people.."

"In today’s interconnected world, no country can succeed in isolation without collaboration and partnership between nations. This conference (Munich Security Conference) provides a platform to strengthen those bonds and explore new opportunities for mutual growth. Nigeria, as one of Africa’s largest economies, is rich with potential, and the government is actively implementing policies designed to attract foreign investment. By deepening our understanding of global economic trends and fostering stronger international cooperation, we can craft policies that not only align with global standards but also drive sustainable economic growth for all involved."

"Rape is an act that is worthy of condemnation in our society. The girl child deserves our protection from this form of absurdity. As a government, we will do everything within our reach to guide against Sexual and Gender-Based Voilence in its entirety."

"My position on governance is that the people's common interest must be the priority, and government therefore is a continuum."

"Ogun state’s proximity to Lagos is not just a geographical coincidence. It is a strategic asset that we have deliberately leveraged. Being the immediate neighbour to Lagos places us in a unique position to benefit from spillover economic activities, urban migration, and industrial expansion."

"From the moment we assumed office on May 28, 2019, our approach has been proactive and structured. We developed and began implementing our administration’s ISEYA development agenda—Infrastructure, Social Welfare, Education, Youth Empowerment, and Agriculture. Recognizing that our location is a prime economic magnet, we prioritized infrastructure to connect Ogun’s towns and cities to Lagos and neighboring states. We improved major arterial roads, rehabilitated rural roads to ease access to farmlands, and initiated urban renewal projects. Moreover, we created an environment conducive for investors—reducing bureaucratic bottlenecks, facilitating land acquisition, and ensuring security. As a result, Ogun now hosts some of Nigeria’s largest industrial estates and continues to attract multinational corporations, logistics operators, and real estate developers."

"I’m very interested in getting the average person in the state to acquire skills that can make them to become useful to themselves and be self-reliant. Everything that we do in Nasarawa State comes from our vision for the state"

"We are going to continue to do a lot to enhance women and youth empowerment in the state."

""Our target is to eliminate all the threats of Boko Haram, banditry, kidnapping for ransom, and the scourge of all forms of violent extremism."

""Within one year, our government has eliminated Boko Haram and bandit commanders faster than ever."

"“The respect that Nigeria used to have is now gradually returning. Investors have more confidence in our country.”"

"“If Africa is to realize its potential fully, we must recognize that development is not just a matter of national policy; it is also a function of sub-national action."

"“Sub-national Governments are the places where farmers cultivate the crops that feed nations, where mining operations either succeed or fail, where young people seek opportunities, and where investors look for clarity, stability, and fair return. This is why my presence here as Governor of Zamfara is not incidental, but deliberate. It underscores the fact that Africa’s renaissance will be driven as much by its States and provinces as by its capitals.”on African-Canada trade"

"Asia is an issue for the world. The issue with Asia is China. China’s problem is the existence of the Chinese Communist Party, which is a snake that has turned its back on the wishes of the Chinese people and causes pain for the rest of the world."

"The fierce conflict confronting us will decide our fate - whether it is to be "glory or humiliation, freedom or slavery."

"We must make use of every minute, value every unit of our material power and pool the wisdom and talent of all so that we can accentuate both our visible national defense combat capability and our invisible political, social and cultural vitality, and combine these into a powerful, compact and undivided force."

"We must enlarge political participation, safeguard freedom and human rights, and assure that democracy and freedom are based on the will of all the people."

"We can say positively and clearly that the Republic of China will never change its determination to remain in the democratic camp and oppose Communism. We shall never change our position of not negotiating or compromising with the Communist enemy. Our fundamental policy and attitude in international politics is to strengthen friendly and moral relations with free nations and fulfill all of our obligations and responsibilities under the preconditions of anti­ Communism and national recovery."

"I shall from now on try my best and most sincerely and call on all my wisdom and ability to face the challenge of reality with fortitude and determination in company with all my compatriots of the nation. I shall make careful plans and seek judicious judgments to attain the goals of national construction. I shall make every sacrifice to de­monstrate my loyalty and give myself to the service of winning the final victory for national recovery and reconstruction together with all the people of the country"

"Since the Restoration of Taiwan, we have suffered the buffeting of adverse international political tides and economic upheavals. But we have never been worried or apprehensive. We have followed the course of our principles. We have striven to fulfill our national responsibility with one will and one heart, and have carried out political, economic, social and cultural development step by step. We have regarded the great devotion shown by our mainland compatriots in recovering Taiwan 33 years ago as our spiritual lodestar for the national recovery today. We have built a psychological Great Wall and persisted in our confident waging of the struggle against Com­munism with total sincerity and the fortitude essential to success."

"Our progress toward democracy should be evolutionary and not imprudent; democracy must be adapted to our own national environment so it can strike root in our own soil."

"We must have determination to eliminate violent elements if we want to bring peace and prosperity to the citizenry. The violent elements are few, but if we don't eliminate them, we cannot bring prosperity and peace to the millions of people."

"To talk peace with the Chinese Communists is to invite death. This is an agonizing, bloodstained lesson that we and many other Asian countries have learned."

"'To the Communists, peace talks are another form of warfare. Although the two look different, the aim is identical."

"At this moment, every one of us greets the new era with matchless excitement, joy, optimism and hope. And all of us are convinced that the seventies of the Republic is bound to be an era for the reign of the Three Principles of the People and the recovery of the Chinese mainland."

"During the last 69 years, the Republic of China has lived in suspense, shocks, disturbances and uncertainty. The people have endured various ordeals and suffered from all sorts of humiliations in their struggle for national independence, freedom, prosperity and happiness. They have sweated themselves and shed their blood heroically. They have never shown the white feather under any challenge, surrendered to any force, or bowed to any enemy. This immortal record registered by the Republic of China in modern history for national independence, freedom and equality will shine eternally in the world."

"In this historic course, the Chinese Communists staged a nationwide insurgency, resulting in the fall of the mainland into Communist hands. The Communist rule of the last more than 30 years has brought a catastrophe to the Chinese people and has testified to the fiasco of the Communist system. Although the Chinese Communists are plagued by ideological contradictions, political corruption, economic destitution and military disintegration, their power struggle has never stopped. As long as this tyrannical Communist rule is allowed to go on, millions upon millions of our compatriots on the mainland will remain in the crucible of poverty and darkness."

"Facts are more eloquent than words. The certainty of the reign of the Three Principles of the People was affirmed long ago by the contrast between the political stability, economic prosperity, social harmony, and educational popularization evidenced in the free area of China and the totalitarian dictatorship, impoverished life, bleak backwardness, and widespread uncertainty found on the Chinese mainland. The unanimous aspirations of the Chinese across the world today are to remove Communist evils from Chinese soil, to save the people on the mainland from the deep waters, and to restore to the Chinese mainland the benevolent rule of the Three Principles of the People at an early date. This historic task lies squarely on the shoulders of every Chinese living in freedom."

"The seventies of the Republic of China is an era of crucial test to see whether we are up to this historic task. All Chinese must treat one another with love and sincerity, unite as one for the common cause, and march forward courageously and hand in hand on the avenue of victory in carrying out this sacred task."

"As long as we can uphold democracy, remain firm on the side of the free world, work hard for self-reliance without laxity, unite as one, and take the implementation and glorification of the Three Principles of the People as our personal responsibility, we are sure to succeed in laying a firm foundation for national renaissance and win the great undertaking of resisting Communism and national recovery."

"Dear fellow countrymen: Our beautiful land is still stained with blood by the Communists, and the turbulent Yangtze and Yellow Rivers still flow day and night toward the vast seas in the east. Like the continuing flow of the Yangtze, our goal of anti-Communism and for national recovery will never change. The "helm of history," so crucial to the destiny of our people, is in our hands."
