“I have listened with rapt attention to the demands of the Community Development Association heads. Odeda is one of the local government areas I will devote attention to. Odeda came to the rescue of the APC in the last elections with over 300,000 votes. Without those votes, I might not be here today,” he said.

Adeola also promised to provide 500 solar streetlights for distribution across the local government, exceeding the 200 additional lights requested by community representatives. The meeting was attended by the APC deputy governorship candidate, Mrs Kudirat Abiodun Adegunwa-Balogun; the state party chairman, Chief Yemi Sanusi; Speaker of the Ogun State House of Assembly, Oludaisi Elemide; Senator Shuaib Afolabi Salisu; Odeda Local Government Chairman, Dr Waliat Folasade Adeyemo; and traditional chiefs from various communities.
