The Royal Fathers who converged on the Awujale’s Palace, Ijebu Ode, unanimously threw their weight behind the governor’s re-election bid, citing his sterling performance since he assumed office in 2019.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A statement by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Kunle Somorin said the traditional rulers conveyed their endorsement in a communique read by the Secretary of the Council, Obiri of Ayepe-Ijebu, Oba Rosiji Ogunbanjo, at the end of their monthly meeting presided over by the President of the council, the Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba Sikirulai Kayode Adetona.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Awujale said he was proud of the governor’s giant strides and advised those eyeing the office of Governor to wait till 2027.

“The governor and his officials continue to accord regard and reverence to traditional rulers and institutions in Ogun State;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Taking the sterling performance of the governor and his team into cognisance, members deliberated further on the future of the state. And therefore, the ljebu Traditional Council (ITC) unanimously endorsed the second term bid of Governor Dapo Abiodun as governor of Ogun state, for him to continue his good, people-oriented developmental projects and services in the state beyond 2023”, the traditional rulers submitted in the communiqué.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Earlier in his remarks, the Dagburewe of Idowa, Oba Yunusa Adekoya, declared that another four years of Abiodun’s leadership will turn Ogun to the utopia area.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Responding, Governor Abiodun thanked the monarchs for their support and declaration of their endorsement for his contuinuty in office.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Speaking at the event, Abiodun, who extolled the virtue of Adetona, said the monarch, is a father to him recalling some of good things he had benefitted personally, from the traditional ruler.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Abiodun, who highlighted some of the developmental and infrastructural projects executed by his administration in Ijebuland and the state in general, said the Agro Cargo Airport alone, had attracted multi-billion naira projects to the state.

 

 

 

 

 

 

According to him, the Airport project that he inherited from his predecessor, had earned the state a cheque of N3.5billion from the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), for 100 hectares of land.

In addition, the governor said one of the partners of the state, had paid $400million dollars to invest in the Cargo Airport area.

Abiodun said for these investments, the state only contributed land.

 

 

 

 

 

The governor, who appreciated the people of the state for their support promised not to rest on his oars, as he continues in 2023.
