2023 Guber: 72 Monarchs Endorse Ogun Gov For Second Term

On Thursday, traditional leaders operating under the auspices of the Progressive Royal Fathers of Ogun Central supported Dapo Abiodun, the state governor, for a second four-year term.

One excellent term justifies another, according to the royal fathers, who based their endorsement of the governor’s candidacy for a second term on what they called “his spotless and creditable performance in office.”

The Olu of Itori, speaking on behalf of the royal fathers, said that 72 kings met with the governor on Wednesday and unanimously expressed their support for his continuation in office through 2023. He was speaking to journalists after the meeting in Itori, Ewekoro Local Government Area, on Thursday.
