‘Honour your pledges to people’

The Olota of Ota, HRM Oba Adeyemi Abdulkabir Obalanlege has advised politicians to always fulfil electoral promises when they get to power.

He said fulfilling the electoral promises” is very essential and a means to bring about good governance”.

The monarch gave this advice at his palace when Ogun State Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) gubernatorial candidate, Hon. Oladipupo Ladi Adebutu, and the party chieftains paid homage to his palace in Ota, Ogun State.

He said the majority of politicians forgot their pledges immediately they got to powers.

He said: “I am a monarch. I am not a politician. I cannot campaign for any politician. Mine is just to advise you, political leaders, to always remember your promises to the electorate.

“Most of you forget your promises. You even  neglect or abandon the people after getting to  power.”

While presenting the gubernatorial candidate to the Olota, former Commissioner for Work in Ogun State and the PDP senatorial candidate in 2015 general elections, Hon. Waliu Olayiwola Taiwo, stressed the need to support a Remo man to pilot the affairs of the state.

Chief Layi Taiwo assured the Olota that Hon. Adebutu would surpass the achievements of past PDP governors in Ogun State and would put an end to the sufferings of Ado-Odo/Ota people
