Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, has praised the peace and tranquility that pervaded the state on the first day of the anti-hunger protest, commending the youth and students for their exemplary conduct.
In a statement, Abiodun expressed his appreciation to the citizens of Ogun State for shunning the nationwide protests, describing their actions as a testament to their commitment to justice, unity, and societal betterment.
The governor specifically lauded the youth for their discipline and resolve in maintaining order and respect, saying, “Your ability to stand firm in your convictions while maintaining order and respect is commendable. It is a reflection of the maturity and responsibility that our youth embody.”
Abiodun also thanked the youth for not allowing hoodlums to turn the state into a war zone, saying, “You have sent a powerful message that our voices can be heard without resorting to violence or destruction.”
