A socio-political group, Ogun Progressive Youths has congratulated the state governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun on the just concluded governorship election in Edo State.
In a statement on Sunday in Abeokuta, jointly signed by its Coordinator, Alhaji Rasheed Sanusi; and Secretary, Stephen Opeyemi Thomas, the group said: “While we rejoice with the leaders and members of our party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the national level and in Edo State on the success of the just concluded governorship election and the clear victory of our party at the poll, special commendation and congratulations must also go to His Excellency, Prince Dapo Abiodun, CON, for providing the needed leadership as Chairman of the Southern Governors’ Forum.
“He has shown that he is not just a democrat and leader, but also a true party man.”
The group urged the governor to also provide the needed leadership that would deliver Ondo State for the APC in the forthcoming off-season governorship election.
“If the morning tells the day, then we make bold to say the success recorded in Edo State, which came after your assumption of office as Chairman of Southern Governors Forum is a good harbinger of positive things to come.
“We have also noted the passing of the South West Development Commission Bill by the Senate and urge you to do everything you can to ensure its smooth take-off and for immediate benefits of the South West region, once assented to by Mr. President”, the group further said.
