The Elders Council of the Ogun West Senatorial District has appreciated the support expressed by the Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun for a governorship candidate from the district come 2019.


During an appreciation visit to the governor at Governor's Office, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta on Monday, the council, made up of the politics class, community leaders and members of the Elders Consultative Forum, urged him not to relent in his resolve in this regard.

Hailing the infrastructural development feat of the Amosun led government, the elders noted that it has changed the political landscape, thus positively changing the socio-economic and political landscape of the state.

Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Chief Jide Ojuko, in his address, enjoined them to work together in unity in realisation of the governor's determination.

Responding, Amosun disclosed that "I am supporting the candidate from the Ogun West district in the interest of fairness, harmony, equity, justice, peaceful coexistence and political correctness."

He said that there are so many capable and qualified hands in the district to run the government effectively, expressing the optimism that a governor from the district would even do greater works that would marvel all.
