The traditional rulers of Ijebuland led by Awujale and Paramount Ruler of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Adetona on Monday unanimously endorsed Governor Dapo Abiodun for a second term in office, adding that he (Abiodun) had worked assiduously within three years of his adminitration.
Penpushing reports that, Awujale who spoke through his representative, the Dagburewa of Idowa, Oba Yunusa Adekoya, at the commissioning of Igan Road at Ago-Iwoye, in Ijebu North Local Government Area, declared that the Governors deserve a second term
“You have worked assiduously these past three years and three months and you have justified why you deserve a second term in office. The message is clear. You have done very well by fulfilling the promises made to us in 2019. 2023 is sure and our people will vote overwhelmingly for you’, the monarch emphasised.
Penpushing further reports in same vein, while endorsing the governor for another term, the Ebumawe of Ago-Iwoye, Oba AbdulRasak Adenugba, said though he’s not a politician, the people of the ancient town have come to tell him that it is Dapo Abiodun they want and not anyone else.
The royal father said Governor Abiodun has restored confidence in government and for keeping the promises made to the governed during the electioneering campaign, he has received blessings of the royal fathers.
Penpushing also reports that, Ebumawe used the opportunity to appreciate the governor for embarking on reconstruction work on the road linkng the University town to other Ijebu and Remo towns and villages.
The Orimolusi of Ijebu Igbo, Oba Lawrence Adebajo, reaffirmed the stance of other monarchs in Ijebuland, stressing that, within short period he came on throne Abiodun had changed his perception about politicians as liars
“In the short period I have been an Oba, you have changed my perception about politicians as liars. Your words have been your bond. I can see development you’ve brought into our towns. We love you and our people have told me that year 2023 is yours without equivocation”.
Penpushing reports that, the monarchs were backed by students and community leaders who urged the governor not to be distracted by antics of certain politicians, but while not resting on his oars, to ensure sustenance of the momentum beyond the elections.
