Oyekanmi flanked by his co-convener, group’s publicity secretary, Oladehinde Tebun -Fagbemi and Yusuf Akinlotan respectively noted that no indigene of Ogun West had seated as the governor of the State, since its creation on February 3, 1976.
He identified several military incursions in the democratic rule and the complex nature of Ogun politics as some of the factors responsible for the inability of a Yewa -Awori indigene becoming the governor of the State.
Oyekanmi said the time is now for the senatorial district to produce the governor of the State saying the political imbalance has in no small measure affected the district in terms of development.
He said, “We, as a movement, are willing to support anyone and all credible efforts to ensure that the next governor emerges from our senatorial district.
“We hereby state clearly that when Governor Amosun delivers on his promise, the entire people of Ogun West Senatorial District will be very grateful and he will be recorded in history as the most significant pillar of support for the Yewa-Awori people towards our pursuit for development and political advancement.
We have waited for 42 years. It is time for us to have a governor from our senatorial district.
“We call on all political parties, regardless of their political interest or philosophy, to present Yewa-Awori candidates for the elections. Amosun has vowed to support Ogun West for governor. Whoever he decides to back at the end of the day is his prerogative. And we believe he is a man of his words. Since he has reiterated his support for Ogun West agenda, there is nothing to fear.”
