The politician urged residents to use the celebration as a springboard for envisioning a brighter and more prosperous Ogun State, stressing that the next phase of development must focus on expanding opportunities for all citizens, particularly youths and entrepreneurs.

Sokunbi also used the occasion to reaffirm his party’s commitment to transforming the state if given the necessary public support.

He said the Action Democratic Party is determined to reposition Ogun as a beacon of development that will attract visitors, investors and tourists from across the country and beyond.

“Ogun State has the potential to become a model of economic growth, innovation and sustainable prosperity in Nigeria,” he said.
