We won’t cede any part of Ogun to other states – Abiodun
Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State has assured the people of Ogun Waterside Local Government Area that his administration will not cede any part of the state to other states in the country.
Abiodun gave the assurance at a meeting with representatives of the local government, made up of traditional rulers, technocrats, and prominent government functionaries, held at the Governor’s Office, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta.
Speaking on some of the items discussed at the meeting, the former Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Prof. Segun Awonusi, said the governor had taken note of reported incursions into parts of the state from neighbouring states and has taken steps to address the issue.
Awonusi said: “We have come here to discuss the affairs of the local government with the governor. We appreciate him for what he has done so far, and we urge him to do more.
“Because of reports of incursions from Lagos and Ondo states on Ode-Omi and Makun to seize parts of our land, the governor has promised that he will ensure that not an inch of Ogun State is lost to any other state.
“He has also promised to provide adequate security so that our people can live in peace.”
