I am officially declaring to heed their call as their son to run as a candidate for Ogun West Senatorial District in the 2023 election” Senator Adeola stated.
The chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance declared that as the W2W4DA has stated there is no vacancy in Oke Mosan in 2023, as Governor Abiodun is returning for a second term based on his achievements so far in his first term, adding that the style of governance of the governor has ensured that all parts of Ogun State to the ward level has one development project or another to point to.
