A renowned security expert, businessman and Egba High Chief, Otunba Adejare Adegbenro has declared his support for the APC presidential candidate Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as well as the second term bid of Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State.
Otunba Adegbenro made this declaration in Abuja in an interview with pressmen on the political and security situation of the country.
He said Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has demonstrated commitment to a better Nigeria than any other candidates.
” As you all know, my maternal grandfather Pa Alfred Rewane was a key financier of NADECO that fought the military to a standstill before he was cruelly murdered by unknown gunmen suspected to be agents of the state in October 1995. In this struggle was Bola Tinubu who worked closely with him for the restoration of democratic rule. Bola tinubu was like a son to my grandfather,Rewane. Since he served as governor of Lagos till today, he is the only person that has been successfully fueling humanitarian activities and his master plan for Lagos works like magic. I wish him the best. And when he becomes president, he should enforce discipline so we can move forward as a nation. I would rather support someone I know his history, rise, virtues and struggle”
” Out of the three frontline candidates, only Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and PDP’s Atiku Abubakar are well exposed for the presidential position. However, Asiwaju has a track record of performance as a substantive governor of Lagos State (1999-2007). He held his own, laid foundation for the modern Lagos we are enjoying today. I have no doubt about his capabilities to replicate it at the national level. Lagos is still the safest despite its population of about 25 million people. Some are peddling falsehood that he’s sick, can a sick person, move around the way he does. Everyday he is working. In fact, his schedule is busier than some incumbent governors. Only God giveth and taketh”
On Governor Dapo Abiodun’s second term bid, he said the Ogun state governor has transformed the state with monumental projects that will outlive him.
“Dapo Abiodun has done well for my state. I’m a blunt person and I’m very economical with commendations but whatever I say about Governor Abiodun led administration is known to the good people of the state. There’s no vacancy in the governors office. He’s a performing governor. As close I am to him its hard to see him and it’s better to see a working governor than the one who only talks and junkets round the world”
“The agro cargo airport that seemed unrealistic has now berthed in Ilishan Remo, and swiftly, big investments are coming into the state. That’s just one out of many. The Gateway state recorded a record 100 billion IGR last month occasioned by his drive. The state is not one of the states that heavily rely on federal allocation. On road construction, I doubt if any past governor in the state has constructed and rehabilitated more roads than him. Just in about four years, Dapo has brought massive development to Ogun State. One good term only deserves another. The people of the state must commend him through their votes, so he can build on these successes in the second term” he concluded
