Former lawmaker who represented Ogun West Senatorial District, Senator Tolu Odebiyi, CON, has stated that any issue around the indigeneship of the Ogun Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola Yayi, has been settled and clearly established.
While clearing the air, Senator Tolu Odebiyi said, “The recent attacks on the indigenisation of our Ogun State APC candidate are needless distractions that we do not need at this critical time. With the numerous challenges confronting our people, especially in the areas of the economy and security, any serious incoming governor already has enormous responsibilities ahead and should remain focused on practical, solution-driven initiatives that will improve the lives of our citizens”.
“The issue surrounding Distinguished Senator Adeola’s indigeneship has long been settled and clearly established. He is a bona fide indigene of Ogun State, particularly Yewaland, as further reaffirmed in the recently published booklet titled “The Progressive Yayi,” which details his roots, parental lineage, and ancestry.”
“I also believe my brother, Hon. Ladi Adebutu, remains a serious contender with deep, respected, and undeniable roots in Ogun State, particularly in Ijebuland.”
“Be that as it may, I would strongly advise all stakeholders and supporters across party lines to elevate the standard of political engagement and focus more on innovative ideas, constructive debates, and creative policy solutions capable of transforming Ogun State into a true State of Excellence.”
“The people of Ogun State deserve issue-based politics centered on development, progress, and prosperity not unnecessary distractions.
Yayi is our own and so shall it be” Senator Odebiyi concluded.
