Former Minister, Ministry of Mines and Steel, Alhaji Sarafa Ishola, described  Akinlade as a man of character, with capacity to deliver and a proven record and experience in the public and private service as well as the Legislative arm of government. 

  Alhaji Tajudeen Bello, said the endorsement of Akinlade is in line with the party's constitution.

Moving the motion for the endorsement today at the Ogun Central Senatorial meeting held in Abeokuta, Senator Olugbenga Obadara from Odeda Local government cited the reason they must support Yewa Aworis Candidate. His motion was seconded by Mrs. Ogunsan from Obafemi Owode Local government area.

   Akinlade, in his response, appreciated the leadership of Ogun West for choosing him, assuring that no Senatorial District in the state will be neglected, when he assumes office.

According to him, his blue print is to complete all ongoing projects of the Senator Ibikunle Amosun administration and also develop the entire state.

Akinlade who is present House of Representatives member representing Yewa south and Ipokia federal constituency was adopted by the leaders of Ogun West APC, and he was introduced to the party members by Ogun State APC Chairman, Chief Derin Adebiyi.

He urged the faithfuls not to relent in exuding good morals and lessons Ramadan has afforded them, adding that such goodwill, if sustained would culminate in building a peaceful society.

The release continued "For us at Irorun Movement, we use this medium to restate our commitment to work assiduously for the good of the people. This we have again exemplified during the last nine days of Ramadan where about two thousand people were duly catered for.

Consequently, we would consolidate on the projects we have started, such as bore hole project across the sixteen wards. The first one at Ilawo Oke Ona Ward 1, Abeokuta has been completed and ready for use."

Ishola stated further that the empowerment programmes of Irorun Movement would go on as planned.

He advised people to celebrate with merriments with moderation. He then offered prayers for peace and tranquility of our constituency, Ogun state and indeed Nigeria.

Group promises to support Amosun candidate with N25m

Group promises to support Amosun candidate with N25m

A group known as Movement for Yewa Awori For Governor (MOYAG) has promised to support the governorship candidate from Governor Ibikunle Amosun with the sum of N25 million to campaign for gubernatorial race in 2019.

Mr Sola Oyekanmi, Chairman of MOYAG promised this during a press conference held on Tuesday at the NUJ Secretariat, Iwe Iroyin, Oke Ilewo Abeokuta, Ogun State.

The Chairman of the movement said the group would begin to sensitise and encourage participation in the electoral process within the senatorial district to achieve the set objective, come 2019.

”It is not that we lack competency in our zone. Also this political imbalance has seen other senatorial districts benefit more infrastructural development than the senatorial district. The movement is willing to support anyone and all credible efforts to ensure that next governor of Ogun state comes from our senatorial district.

”MOYAG hereby states that when governor Amosun delivers his promise, the entire people of Ogun west senatorial district will be very grateful and it will be recorded in history as the most significant pillar of support for Yewa Awori people towards our pursuit for development and political advancement,” Oyekanmi said.
