It was an emotional morning in Ilaro on Wednesday 4th May 2022, when Ogun West political leaders, elders and other admirers of Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola FCA YAYI presented the expression of interest and nomination forms purchased for him to the distinguished Senator at his country home, Ilaro.
The chairman Senate Committee on Finance who was shocked, overwhelmed and very dazed could not hide his joy, as he intermittently bursted into tears while acknowledging receipt of the form, and he used the opportunity again to reiterate his commitment to getting Ogun West to greater heights and pledging unwavering support to the re-election of Prince Dapo Abiodun MFR for a second term as the executive governor of Ogun State.
The highpoint of his appreciation speech was when he said;
“In all my years of contesting elections for close to 20 years now, this is the first time I’m getting this kind of gesture, and to say the little, I’m very happy.”.
It is worthy to note that 71 people brought their hard-earned money together from about 50k from the least person, to N3m from the biggest donor, to surprise the Senator with the gesture.
