AWUJALE CAUTION SUBJECTS AGAINST FALLING PREY FOR FAKE CAMPAIGNERS AHEAD OF 2019 POLL
“After all these their deceptions using the name of Ijebu people and collecting money from governorship aspirants all over the place, if you see them, stone them; throw sticks at them; make them know shame. Be assured that they are Omolanke (hand drawn cart), they cannot carry loads from Ijebu Ode to Ibadan. So, those being deceived by them should take note.”
Awujale said, “Let’s be prayerful. Nothing is impossible with prayers. Our star will still shine in Ijebuland. We are often worried when things are like these. But we must have faith, because Ijebu has always shone. We will shine again. Let’s keep our focus on God. With prayers, God will fulfill our dreams.”

But we pray that this promise is fulfilled,” he said.

Richard Oladele, said the New Year will bring forth a new thing in Ogun State, stating that the government should complete all ongoing projects ahead of raining season to ease the hardship of motorists and commuters
