Ogun State Councillors Back Dapo Abiodun’s Senatorial Bid

Dapo Abiodun

At least 102 councillors from the nine local government areas of Ogun East Senatorial District have declared their support for the second-term bid of President Bola Tinubu. The group has also come out to back the reported 2027 senatorial aspiration of Governor Dapo Abiodun, and Nigerians have been reacting.

Citing Dapo Abiodun’s unmatched developmental strides and quality leadership as the major reasons for the endorsement, the councillors emphasised that the Governor’s government has transformed the state in areas such as infrastructure, healthcare, economic development and security.

The lawmaker also moved the motion endorsing the re-election bid of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, which was unanimously supported by the councillors.

A statement read, “We have observed the transformative leadership of His Excellency over the last seven years. His ‘Building Our Future Together’ agenda has impacted positively across Ogun East.

We believe that a leader of his calibre should continue to serve at the federal level in order to attract more dividends of democracy to our people.

Consider the airport project; Ogun State can now boast of its own airport. There will be an influx of travellers, boosting not only the economy of the Iperu and Ilishan axis where the airport is located but the entire state.

Our amiable governor deserves to serve in the Senate after completing his tenure as governor. He has a strong track record and has allowed opposition parties to operate freely in the state. His achievements are unparalleled. I commend this body for taking what I consider the right decision.”

WOW.
