The chairmanship Aspirant of Abeouta South Local Government im the forthcoming election, Comrade Olujimi Adekunle David also known as Desmond has celebrated Ogun State at 45 years with Governor Prince Dapo Abiodun mfr today Wednesday 3rd of February 2021.

According to him, The Gateway State, Ogun State has gradually evolved into a cynosure of an economic renaissance, with the Governor Prince Dapo Abiodun carefully bringing to fulfillment the promise that came with the creation of the state on the 3rd of February, 1976, carved out of the old Western State of Nigeria and named after the Ogun River which runs across it from North to South.

Forty-five years after the historic pronouncement of the state, Ogun is today steadily seated and cruising on the turf of greatness, revered as a model of good governance, transparent leadership, and true democracy.

From the first military Governor, Lt. Col. Seidu Ayodele Balogun, of the newly-created Ogun State of Nigeria, and successive leaderships, Ogun State has been meticulously nurtured to survive the challenges that come with the development of a new state, finding new paths and trails.

The tenure of Chief Olabisi Onabanjo who was elected the first civilian Governor of Ogun State in October 1979 and served until 1983, which was however short-lived as a result of political realities, brought about notable developments to the state. 

At 45, one can say with certainty that Ogun State has taken its pride of place within the ranks of other outstanding states in Nigeria in terms of industrialization, good roads, foreign investment, entrepreneurial development, electricity, economic policies, and opportunities and seaport development.

It is therefore incumbent on Ogun people to continue to support the administration of Prince Dapo Abiodun mfr in order to consolidate the already existing social structures for the overall good of the state and posterity.

Let everyone roll out drums and celebrate the superlative performance of Governor Prince Dapo Abiodun even as the state cruises steadily on the turf of greatness.
