CHAIRMAN of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) in Yewa South Local Government Area of Ogun State, Alhaji (Chief) Hon. Abdul-Yaya Idowu has appealed to the Governor-elect, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, to reconsider the decision to also zone the position of the Secretary to the State Government (SSG) to Ogun East.
He spoke in Ilaro shortly after an emergency post-election meeting held at the party’s secretariat.
Idowu argued that it would amount to total marginalization of the people of Ogun West if the SSG position earlier conceded to the area, is added to the Deputy Governor slot already given to Ogun East.
He noted that the Speaker position being considered for Ogun West is nothing but a rip-off to the people of the area.
“It is surprising to note that Ogun West which is one of the tripod that make up Ogun State, is being denied its right in the scheme of things, while the other two senatorial districts enjoy their own slots without any problem,” he posited.
Idowu, who is also the Balogun of Owode-Yewa, opined that the position of Speaker of the House of Assembly now zoned to the area means Yewa will not have any representation in the executive arm of the government.
He therefore called on Senator Amosun and the ACN elders in the state to return the SSG slot and other positions, to Yewa people, with a view to distributing, equitably, all political positions in the state without any bias.
Idowu however expressed Ogun West’s unflinching support for the governor-elect and wished him success in his quest to rebuild the state.
