The governor of Ogun State, Dapo Abiodun, has assured residents that his administration will record a seamless, peaceful, and rancour-free transition at the end of his second term in 2027, pledging to set a historic benchmark in the state’s governance. Governor Abiodun gave the assurance on Thursday during the Christmas church service at St. James’ Anglican Church, Iperu-Remo, in Ikenne Local Government Area. However, former President Olusegun Obasanjo and other PDP members backed former Military Governor of Oyo State, the late Gen. Adetunji Olurin, also from Ogun West. It will be the first peaceful transition in the 50-year history of Ogun State. The cleric also commended Governor Abiodun for what he described as purposeful and transformative leadership, praying that the end of his tenure would surpass its beginning.
