The Deputy Governorship Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ogun State, Hajia 'Yemi Sowunmi-Kolapo, and the wife of the party's governorship candidate, Chief Adenike Adebutu, have gifted a retired Deputy Superintendent of Traffic, Anifat Bello, a cash sum of N1m. This gesture was made at a reception and dinner organised by Sowunmi-Kolapo in honour of Bello's dedication to duty and exemplary conduct while serving as a police traffic officer in Ogun State.
During the ceremony, Sowunmi-Kolapo commended Bello for her professionalism, discipline, resilience, and dedication to traffic management during her years of service with the Ogun State Police Command. She described Bello's commitment to duty as rare and worthy of emulation, adding that the honour was the beginning of greater things to come in the retired officer's life.
Sowunmi-Kolapo also assured workers in Ogun State that they would be rewarded with welfare packages if the PDP comes into power in 2027. She promised that hard work would pay and that civil servants would always smile at home under the Adebutu administration. Other dignitaries, including Ogun PDP Chairman, Dr Abayomi Tella, and party leaders, paid glowing tributes to Bello, appreciating her diligent service.

She stated that Bello would be part of the Adebutu administration if he were voted into power in 2027, saying she had always admired Bello's ever-smiling posture while performing her traffic duties.
Ogun PDP Chairman, Abayomi Tella, said Bello's selflessness and passion for other people were commendable and should be emulated by all. He thanked Sowunmi-Kolapo for celebrating the retired officer, saying that her good work had earned her a positive mention in the news.
