Convinced of the need for Ogun West to go into the 2019 governorship elections as a united front, some concerned citizens of Ogun West have come together as a group to foster unity and mutual understanding among political leaders, governorship aspirants and other relevant players in the build up to 2019.
At the meeting of the group named Committee of Ogun West Patriots (COWEP) in Ota recently, Chairman, Dr Leke Ibrahim said Ogun West cannot afford to go into the elections with too many aspirants who would end up creating disaffection and dividing the votes of the people.
"We shall be carrying out series of activities including interactive sessions and consultations among aspirants and political leaders aimed at ensuring that Ogun West presents only popular candidates from strong political parties that have potentials to win the election, Ibrahim said.
He said the group had started appealing to the political leaders and the governorship aspirants to see one another as brothers who should put the collective interest of Ogun West above self interest since this was the only way Ogun West can break the jinx that had prevented Ogun West candidates from winning in past elections.
Dr. Ibrahim said other members of the group included Comrade Wale Hassan, Dr. Olufemi Dosumu, Mr. Ore Salako, Hon. Chief Adisa Olaewe,. Mr. Wasiu Fagbohun, Mr. Uthman Khalid-Salako, Kehinde Akinlade, Olusola Ojekunle, Mr. Semiu Fatogun, Barrister Babatunde Ogunsola, Edun Emmanuel, Mr. Femi Dokunmu and Musibau Obayomi
