Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwoolu, has described the Ore Industrial Park, built by the Oluwarotimi Akeredolu led-adminitration in Ondo State as a masterpiece located in an unusual location, saying, “I am enthralled”
The Governor, who is the Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) Governorship National Campaign Council, spoke when he joined his Ondo State counterpart on a campaign tour of Okitipupa Local Government Area of Ondo State in preparation for the October 10th Governorship Poll in the State.
Sanwoolu, who was taken round the Industrial Park, that currently houses seven manufacturing companies said history would be kind to Akeredolu for turning obscurity to greatness.
The Lagos Governor also described the Ore flyover bridge built by the Akeredolu government as an epitome of London.
Sanwo-Olu said his deliberate visit to Ikale kingdom is connected with the earlier support he got from Ikale people during his bid for the governorship seat, stating that the Ikale Union of Lagos State supported him during the 2019 election.
He said, “Ore Industrial is a masterpiece, sincerely I am enthralled. I am opportune to see the flyover in Ore too. It is an Epitome of London. Mr. Governor, may history be kind to you for turning an obscurity to greatness.
“My coming here today is historical. It is to appreciate what the Ikale Union of Lagos State did for me when I contested to be Governor in 2019 in Lagos State. They supported me, gave me cars and other needed items for campaign. They gave me one of the best supports.
“Now, I plead with you all, you must ensure that the election is for Akeredolu. I am honored to be here today, I feel very joyous to pay homage to the group that supported me. Akeredolu, from all indications, deserves a second term; his good work will earn him another term,” he said.
Akeredolu who is the candidate of the APC also got a unanimous endorsement of the entire traditional institution in Ikale land.
Akeredolu assured the people that, electricity will be restored to all communities in Ondo South Senatorial District through Omotosho Power Plant.
Endorsing Akeredolu when the APC campaign train paid homage to them, the Ikale traditional rulers said Akeredolu deserves their support, if not for anything, but for renaming the state owned University at Okitipupa after their son, Olusegun Agagu.
Agagu governed Ondo State from 2003 to 2009 on the platform of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP). He reportedly died of cardiac arrest in 2013.
The university, established by the late Agagu as the “Ondo state University of Technology Okitipupa (OSUTECH)”, was renamed “Olusegun Agagu University of Technology, Okitipupa” by Akeredolu.
