Indigenes of Ogun State residing in Enugu State recently hosted a reception for Hajia Yemi Sowunmi-Kolapo, the PDP Deputy Governorship Candidate. The group, led by Dr. Lekan Oladapo, reiterated their support for change in Ogun State. They expressed enthusiasm for the PDP governorship candidate, Oladipupo Adebutu, and his running mate, citing their commitment to the state's progress and well-being.
According to Dr. Oladapo, the Ogun State indigenes have studied the PDP's manifesto and are convinced of Adebutu's and Sowunmi-Kolapo's dedication to the state's development. He noted that Ogun State is not living up to its potential, lagging behind in various sectors, including infrastructure. The group believes that a change in leadership is necessary to protect the state's heritage and install good governance.
Dr. Oladapo highlighted the state's untapped potential, citing ancient towns like Ijebu Ode and Abeokuta, which could be leveraged for tourism and revenue generation. He also mentioned the possibility of exporting herbal products to earn foreign currency. The group believes that a government with the right policies and goodwill can unlock these opportunities and drive growth.
The Ogun State indigenes in Enugu are reportedly aware of Sowunmi-Kolapo's antecedents and integrity, making her a suitable running mate for Adebutu. They commended the PDP for bringing her on board, citing her potential to add value to the ticket. The group is convinced that Sowunmi-Kolapo's partnership with Adebutu will help drive positive change in the state.
Dr. Oladapo urged Ogun State residents to come out and vote en masse in the 2027 general elections, stressing that the votes will be cast without sentiments. The group plans to mobilize heavily, sensitize their communities, and ensure a high turnout. They believe that a change in leadership is crucial for the state's future and the well-being of its people.
The reception for Sowunmi-Kolapo was held on the sidelines of the 22nd All Nigeria Editors Conference in Enugu. As a member of the Nigerian Guild of Editors, Sowunmi-Kolapo's visit provided an opportunity for the Ogun State indigenes to engage with her and express their support.
