The Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, chairmen in the 20 councils in Ogun State yesterday endorsed Governor Ibikunle Amosun's second term bid. The endorsement, coming barely one and half years before the end of the governor's first tenure, followed what the chairmen described as Amosun's satisfactory performance in the last two years.
Rising from a crucial closed-door meeting, the chairmen said they had noted Amosun's unwavering commitment to deliver on his electioneering promises as manifested in the ongoing infrastructural development in the state. They added that the governor needed more time to complete the projects.
Speaking with journalists after the meeting, the chairmen's spokesperson, who is also the ACN Chairman in Yewa South Local Government, Samuel Mathew Akinyemi, hinged the governor's endorsement on his efforts at rebuilding the state in the areas of roads, education, security, health as well as agricultural development among others which, he said, had remained a reference point in the history of the state.
In a communiqué issued at the end of their meeting which was read by Akinyemi, the chairmen commended Amosun and emphasised that if the governor was given an opportunity to serve another term, Ogun State would become a better state.
