“They explained that the Sagamu-Benin expressway, Lagos-Ibadan expressway, the 10,000 hectares of land and the fact that no factory would disturb it were the reasons why the Iperu-Ilishan axis was the best for an airport.

“At a point in time, my predecessor wanted to turn it to an Egba-Ijebu issue, look at the objective reasons for this airport, my predecessor wanted to build an aerodrome, a local one for that matter, I have built an international airport, between 20,000 and 25,000 jobs would be created at the airport,” he said.

I told him Dangote had paid for land, let him start the refinery and the port, he disagreed, I told him Dangote will leave, he said he won’t. Eventually, Dangote left us and took the refinery to Lekki, $16billion investment was lost and over twenty thousand jobs were lost.

“By the grace of God, God will repay us double for what we lost, we have started the process to actualize that port, we have sat down with investors, we have signed, by the grace of God, before I leave as Governor in 2027, ship will berth in Olokola,” he said.

Governor Abiodun while noting that governorship should be about competence and track records, said that “there should be requirements for anyone aspiring to become Governor, that person should have demonstrated that he has the capacity, understanding, a track record of success in the aspirants choose career before aspiring, but, anybody stands up to aspire for the office of the Governor in Nigeria, God will help us”.

Governor Abiodun further disclosed that he had approved that religious centers no longer pay for building plan approvals like business entities, an acknowledged the role of religious centers in shaping the minds of youths in the country.

” I have made it a policy that if you want to build a mosque, you apply for land and you were given charges as if you are a business person, I have said it will not happen again, we have to be given approval for religious centers that would show that they are religious centers, you will now pay a small amount.

“Because the numbers of worship centers among us help us to talk to our youths, teach them, because anyone that has belief would always have the fear of God, the person with the fear of God would love his neighbour like himself, the more the religious centers among us, the more we become better persons.

“I want to thank you for the peaceful coexistence in our state, it is exemplary, you can never hear that there is a fight between Muslims and Christians in our state, this is because you have embraced each other,” he said.

Abiodun, however, called on the League to educate their Muslim brothers and sisters to vote for him for the continued development of the state.
