It is a matter of concern that Ogun West has not yet had the opportunity to produce a governor says Senator Solomon Adeola, while highlighting the perceived injustice in the situation.
Senator Adeola, who is popularly known as Yayi, represents the Ogun West Senatorial District in the National Assembly, has expressed concerns over the lack of a governor from the district since the state was established in 1976, highlighting the perceived injustice.
He said, “It is no longer news that our area has suffered in the scheme of things since the creation of Ogun State on February 3, 1976.
“In the over 48 years history of Ogun State, no one from our senatorial district has been opportune to lead the state as the number one citizen.
“This unjust and inequitable anomaly is not as a result of not presenting ourselves for service or indeed a result of lack of eminently qualified persons.
“Towards 2027, a leading and knowledge-based organisation as YDF must dispassionately look at all the factors that should engender success for Ogun West senatorial district in the governorship race.
“I have no doubt that the wherewithal to achieve the just aspiration of our people is available but we must consciously and painstakingly put our best foot forward this time around.
“Going forward, I don’t expect anyone from Yewaland to be a bystander in the ongoing struggle for political power in Ogun State.”
