On Thursday, Governor of Ogun State, Dapo Abiodun, announced his intention to run for re-election in 2023 on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Gov. Abiodun made the announcement in the executive council chambers of his office in Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, after receiving the nomination form purchased for him by his kinsmen and women under the auspices of the “DA Mandate 2023.”
He also announced that his Deputy, Engr (Mrs) Noimot Salako-Oyedele, had been re-nominated as his running mate.
Abiodun recalled how the journey began four years ago when he invited the state’s citizens to join him on a journey of selfless service to build a secure and prosperous state based on a thriving economy and supported by quality service, equity, and justice, saying it was gratifying that the people believed in him and backed him.
