Indications have started emerging on why two governorship candidates in the last election in Ogun State, Gboyega Nasiru Isiaka of African Democratic Congress and Prince Rotimi Paseda of Social Democratic Party were listed as part of members of the economic transition committee for the governor-elect, Prince Dapo Abiodun.

Our findings revealed that former deputy governor, Alhaja Salimot Badru was also part of the committee.

It was reliably gathered that the top political opponents made the list because of the economic  zeal of governor-elect to run an all-inclusive government.

In a statement issued by the spokesperson to the governor-elect, maintained that Dapo Abiodun was committed in fulfilling his campaign manifesto through robust engagement with stakeholders and develop a Roadmap to guide its implementation.

Hazzan added that the committee would focus on developing the roadmap to have a robust economy in the state.

He said, “Ogun State Governor-Elect, Prince (Dr.) Dapo Abiodun has announced the Economic Transition Committee that will further articulate his campaign manifesto, ensure robust engagement with stakeholders and develop a roadmap to guide its implementation.
