Omole added that the activities and programmes of government that were carefully selected and implemented under the leadership of Governor Aiyedatiwa in the transport sector in the last nine months have been life changing for those in the sector. 

The Special Adviser to the Governor on Union Matters, Comrade Bola Taiwo, encouraged the RTEAN members to continue to spread the support for Governor Aiyedatiwa to everyone and come out in their large numbers to vote for the Governor at the gubernatorial election come November 16.

In his reaction, Governor Aiyedatiwa appreciated the members of RTEAN for the endorsement and support, promising not to disappoint them.

The Governor stressed that his administration will continue to provide adequate security of lives and property as well good roads for easy movement of the people.

Highlights of the event included presentation of award of excellence to Governor Aiyedatiwa and the conferment of Grand Patron of the Association on the Governor.

How on earth could one possibly think that they can give people th...

  For over 20 years, Ilaje/Ese Odo Federal Constituency has followed the same political pattern—electing male representatives again and again. While the past has played its role, one question remains unavoidable: Has this approach delivered the level of development we truly deserve? If we are honest, we know the answer.
