Yewa Monarchs on Thursday said they will support the governorship candidate of the All Progressive Congress, APC, Prince Dapo Abiodun in next month’s governorship poll in the state.
The Obas in their numbers led by the Oloke Odan of Oke-Odan, Oba Oluremi Fagbenro threw their weight behind the governorship candidate, while he played host to the businessman in his palace at Oke-Odan.
Prince Abiodun had visited the Royal father to pay homage to him in continuation of his ward to ward campaign tour of Yewa South local government.
The Royal father declared that the APC candidate would win the election, assuring that all hands would be put on deck to ensure that Prince Abiodun emerged as the next governor of the state.
Oba Fagbenro said “I sincerely welcome our next governor to this palace and I want to urge you to develop Yewaland after you are sworn in by May 29th. Yewa deserves to have a university and I am appealing to you to translate this vision into a reality when you get there. Also, our roads are bad and I urge you to invest in building the rural roads.
“We also urge you to address the disparity in the employment quota of the civil service. Our sons are too few in the service and we have a few number of them who are more qualified to be employed. You are the next governor of Ogun state and that is why I am telling you so that you can address them holistically when you are sworn in.”
Responding, the APC candidate appreciated the monarch, assuring him of even distribution of dividends of democracy.
He, however, promised to empower the local government councils when he becomes governor.
“The local government councils shall be empowered so that they can also improve governance at the grassroots,” he said.
