The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Governorship Candidate in Ogun State, Oladipupo Adebutu , has promised to set up a Commission for border communities in the State if elected as Governor in the 2023 general elections.
He noted that the border communities in the State urgently need special attention of the Federal, State and Local Governments.
Adebutu gave the pledge on Wednesday at his party’s campaign rally held in Ipokia Local Government Area of the State.
At the event, the Governorship Candidate also donated transformer to Ipokia community and promised to restore peace and economic stability as well as provide necessary infrastructure if elected.
Adebutu explained that his proposed Commission would look into and address many of the challenges confronting the border communities in the State.
In his remarks, the PDP Deputy Governorship Candidate, AbdulKabir Adekunle Akinlade, declared that Adebutu represents the hope for a better and more prosperous future for the State.
He recalled how Adebutu supported his previous Governorship bid under the platform of Allied Peoples Movement (APM) in 2019, stressing that it was now time for Ipokia residents to reciprocate the kind gesture.
Akinlade vowed to do everything within the ambit of the law to stop the bid by the Lagos West Senator (Senator Olamilekan Adeola YAYI) to be elected as a Senator in Ogun West.
He further said, “𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝘼𝘿𝘾 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙙 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙤𝙩 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙊𝙩𝙚𝙜𝙗𝙚𝙮𝙚 𝙘𝙖𝙢𝙚 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙄𝙡𝙖𝙧𝙤, 𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙞𝙙 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙊𝙩𝙚𝙜𝙗𝙚𝙮𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙙 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙤𝙩. 𝙒𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙦𝙪𝙚𝙧 𝘼𝙋𝘾.

Akinlade urged the voters in the area and across the State to cast their votes for PDP in the forthcoming Governorship election.

Also speaking, the State PDP Chairman, Sikirulai Ogundele, appealed to Ipokia residents to vote for PDP.
Ogundele, who contended that the economic situation of the State was poor, enjoined the people to exercise their civic responsibility to put an end to bad governance.
“𝙇𝙚𝙩’𝙨 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙚𝙣 𝙢𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙫𝙤𝙩𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝘼𝙙𝙚𝙗𝙪𝙩𝙪. 𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙨𝙚𝙚 𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙗𝙖𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙢𝙮 𝙞𝙨. 𝙇𝙚𝙩’𝙨 𝙜𝙚𝙩 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙋𝙑𝘾’𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙫𝙤𝙩𝙚 𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙗𝙖𝙙 𝙜𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚,” he said.
