DAILY POST reports that the region hasn’t produced a governor since the creation of the state in 1976. Recall that last year, President of the National Association of Yewa Students, NAYES, Olabode Opeyemi appealed to the Governor, urging that the gubernatorial ticket be given to an indigene of Ogun West Senatorial District, lamenting that the region was yet to produce a governor in over five decades. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1524595905268-5'); }); Governor Abiodun alongside other APC leaders on Monday, adopted Senator Solomon Adeola (Yayi) as the consensus candidate ahead of the next election. The adoption was seen as a major boost for the long time agitation for the power shift in the state. Reacting to the adoption on Wednesday, the student body in a statement by Comrade Olabode who is now the Senate President, appreciated the governor for granting their request and demonstrating inclusive and visionary leadership. He further extended his warmest congratulations to the chosen candidate, Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, describing his emergence as well-deserved. Olabode assured the Senator that the entire student constituency, under his leadership, is prepared to mobilize, strategize, and actively support his aspirations, ensuring widespread student engagement and full backing.
