Ogun 2027: Senator Adeola Explains Focus On Development Of Ogun Waterside 

The All Progressives Congress Gubernatorial candidate in Ogun State, Senator Solomon Adeola has explained why he is attracting government and personal infrastructure development to Ogun Waterside LGA.

Addressing a cross section of stakeholders in his ongoing statewide tour of all LGAs in the state on their needs, the senator said Ogun Waterside LGA is too strategic in Ogun State development to be denied basic infrastructure for the people and incoming residents of the area in the immediate future.

“ Months back I decided to personally rehabilitate and reconstruct electricity infrastructure to the LGA that was vandalized over a decade ago throwing over 25 communities into darkness. The project that is costing me hundreds of million naira will be delivered before the election of next year as I just released additional funds to the contractor already working on the project” he stated.

Senator Adeola said he is fully conscious of the economic development that electricity will bring to the area stressing that as a stop gap measure he has facilitated the installation of over 2000 solar street lights across the LGA with a promise of additional 250.

Senator Adeola stated that in view of the mega projects coming to Ogun Waterside like the Deep Sea Port, oil and gas exploration, a naval base and a free trade zone, Ogun Waterside LGA must have basic infrastructure adding that massive real estate will soon spring up to accommodate workers of the mega projects.

He said the various requests submitted to him will form part of his manifesto and economic blueprint adding that in the interim even before he is voted to power, he will facilitate the construction of a 2000 capacity complex at Abigi as there is a need for such to accommodate this kind of meeting which he promised to hold every year if elected as governor.

“I am working to deliver the electricity project this year as well as a 2000 capacity hall for the LGA. I also intend to complete my facilitated ultra-modern market , a block of 12-Classrooms and a 4-storey Hospital building at Ibiade before election next year” he stated.

He stated that his 9-Pillars ITESIWAJU Agenda for governing Ogun State will address the infrastructure challenges requested by the stakeholders stressing that voting for all APC candidates is the right thing to do for midwifing mega developmental initiatives that promises to modernize Ogun Waterside.

Speaking on behalf of other royal fathers at the occasion, Oba(Barr) Olusegun Ogunye, the Ojotumoro of Abigi commended the senator for his love for the people of Ogun Waterside through his projects adding that he is already doing kingly duties without being prompted before becoming a ‘king’ and should be elected to continue.

“ I am sure our people are eagerly waiting to reward you with their votes to the extent of 90%. Your coming to our aid to provide electricity is fully appreciated. You also brought a 100 shops ultra modern market as well as block of 12 Classrooms” he stated.

While urging his people to reward Senator Adeola with their votes for coming to their aid with “Light Up Ogun Waterside” with solar light stated that a modicum of night life and economy has been restored to communities.

Representatives of various groups commended the senator as enumerated by the Royal fathers with a pledge to vote massively for him as governor and other APC candidates in the coming election.

The event was attended by Alhaja Kudirat Abiodun Balogun, APC Deputy Governor candidate and her husband, Dr. Rasaq Balogun, Senator Lekan Mustapha, the DG Ogun State APC Presidential and Gubernatorial Campaign Council, Apostle Abiodun Sanyaolu, Vice DG, APC Campaign Council, Hon.
