Obasanjo Endorses Isiaka For Ogun Governorship

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Saturday endorsed Prince Gboyega Isiaka of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for the Ogun State governorship election.

He justified his action on the need for fairness and equity on the claim that Isiaka is from Ogun West, the only section of the state yet to produce a governor of the state.

He gave his endorsement when the leadership of the party in the state presented Isiaka and his running mate, Mrs Olabisi Okeowo-Bolade, to him at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL), Abeokuta.

While applauding the qualities of the candidate, Obasanjo said:

“I am happy that today, you are presenting to me a candidate of the party and a candidate who is worthy of being a candidate. What do you expect me to say if not to say this is my son in whom I am well pleased? He is a man who has ears and he listens. When he gets there, he will be grateful.

“You don’t have to leave any stone unturned. You may have somebody who is opposed to you. That is normal. But you have no enemy because you need all hands on deck to do what needs to be done in this state when you become the governor.

“Don’t quarrel or fight with anybody. You have what others will envy. Wherever I go, I will say ADC in Ogun State has a good and credible product. Just give it a try and you will be pleasantly surprised.”
