Awujale Endorses Amosun For 2015

The Awujale and paramount ruler of Ijebuland, Oba (Dr) Sikiru Kayode Adetona, Ogbagba II, has thrown his weight behind the second term bid of incumbent Governor of Ogun State, Ibikunle Amosun.

The monarch openly canvassed for votes for the governor after he expressed satisfaction with the giant stride of the governor, adding that his exemplary works have so far surpassed those of his predecessors.

Awujale stated this Thursday in Ijebu Ode during the assessment and monitoring tour of the council by the governor and his team.

“By December this year, I will be 55 years on the throne. All what I am seeing today from the governor is fantastic. I have not witnessed all these in the past and on behalf of all sons and daughters of Ijebuland, we thank you so much and I pray that Almighty Allah will continue to be with you and your household. I get information about how you come day and night to inspect construction works and I know God will continue to strengthen you.

“My people in Ijebu, the governor has done his own, the people of Ijebu should not be ingrates. Your administration has been a peaceful and enjoyable one. When somebody has worked, there must be a reward for him. Amosun has worked for us and we must reward him for all the good works he has been doing, not only in Ijebu, but in the state at large,” the monarch said.

Many Ijebu sons and daughters who spoke with our correspondent revealed that the governor deserves a second term, promising to work hard to ensure victory for the governor in the next governorship election in February 2015.

Chairman of the State Teaching Service Commission, TESCOM, Ms Bukola Onabanjo and the Ebumawe of Ago Iwoye, Oba Abdul Razaq Adenugba, corroborated the view of Awujale, calling on all Ijebus to come out en masse to vote for the governor so as to complete the good work he is doing in the state.

“This is a clear fact and Awujale has spoken the minds of Ijebus both at home and in the diaspora. The governor has been doing his best and we should rally round him for the second term bid so that he will be able to complete the good works he has started,” the TESCOM boss said.

In his view, the Ago Iwoye monarch maintained that what the Awujale said is the true position of all sons and daughters of Ijebu and when he has spoken, no one dares challenge his authority except God.

“What Awujale said is correct and that is our minds. A right thinking people need not to be told that the governor still needs one more term to complete all the good works he has started. So we should all rally round him for success during next year’s election.

In his address, the Chairman of Ijebu Ode Local Government, Mr. Razaq Oluwakemi Daddah, thanked the governor on behalf of the people of Ijebu Ode and solicit for more support for the government to enable it complete its projects.

Daddah explained that the assessment tour is a veritable opportunity for feedback needed to forge ahead and a manifestation of the present administration’s commitment to carry all stakeholders along in the development of the state.
