The immediate past Nigerian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, Sarafa Tunji-Ishola, on Thursday, bemoaned what he called a hostile succession of power by political leaders in Ogun State.

The former Minister of Mines and Steel Development, while addressing guests at the event, who included former governor Ibikunle Amosun, Senator Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello and the Alake of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo, Osile of Oke Ona, Oba Adedapo Tejuoso, described Ogun as a politically divided state where no meaningful development can take place.

He argued that for the state to attain its full potential, the political class must jettison the hostile takeover of power and practice politics of continuity and sustainable development.
