While urging Osun people to join hands with the state government to deliver good governance, Lukman, called on wealthy individuals, groups, and organizations to assist the needy during and after the festive period.
He said, “I desire to ensure everyone is supported in one way or the other, the effort is to complement the state government’s efforts in bringing succour to the people.

The Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba Abdul-Rasheed Adewale Akanbi, while lauding the lawmaker for his intervention, said his short term at the Assembly has brought unprecedented development to the constituency.
