Otunba Paseda opined that only three major issues have been drawing  the society backwards and they are religion, ethnicity and concentration of projects in one Senatorial district at the detriment of the others”.

“The second is the discrimination by ethnicity, you are this I am that,  you are Hausa you are Igbo,  that must stop we must discourage it”.

“The other thing is impacting negatively on a region and impacting positively on another region which is otherwise known as discrimination according to senatorial district . If you look at Ogun State today you will find out that distribution of projects is not equitable at all”.

“Ogun Central has nearly everything, Ogun East,  I will say it is next, but Ogun West,  the Yewas,  I will say there is nothing there, it is not developed it is as if they are abandoned, it is as if they are not part of Ogun State, that is my priority,  to distribute common wealth among the three senatorial district like our late sage Chief Obafemi Awolowo did”. 

In her welcome address the State Chairman of Unity Party of Nigeria,  Alhaja Aminat Olatunbosun called on all members to redouble their efforts in membership drive adding that UPN remains the only hope of the masses now. 

Her words, “PDP has been in government,  they failed the people,  APC is there now,  they also failed,  people are now looking unto UPN as the solution to the myriads of problems facing the State,  we are now telling them that we are going to deliver and salvage the State from the shackles of oppression and maladministration”.
