A former President , Chief Olusegun Obasanjo , has endorsed the Ogun State governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress , Prince Gboyega Isiaka , describing him as “ good, credible and worthy candidate ” to govern the state in 2019 .
He said this on Saturday when the state ADC leadership formally presented Isiaka and his running mate , Mrs Olabisi Okeowo – Bolade , to him at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library , Abeokuta .

Obasanjo who said he believed in him to succeed Senator Ibikunle Amosun , also seeks support for the aspiration of Ogun West Senatorial District , which had been denied governance of the state since its creation in 1976 .

The chairman of the ADC in the state , Dr . Gbolade Osinowo , presented the candidates for Senate , House of Representatives and the State House of Assembly of the party to the former president .

Obasanjo noted that for the forthcoming governorship election , the Ogun West zone must be allowed to produce the next governor in the spirit of equity , fairness , and justice .

He said , “ I am happy that today , you are presenting to me a candidate of the party and a candidate who is worthy of being a candidate . What do you expect me to say if not to say this is my son in whom I am well pleased . He is a man who has ears and he listens . When he gets there , he will be grateful .

“ You don’ t have to leave any stone unturned . You may have somebody who is opposed to you . That is normal . But you have no enemy because you need all hands on the deck to do what needs to be done in this state when you become the governor .

“ Don ’ t quarrel or fight with anybody . You have what others will envy . Wherever I go , I will say the ADC in Ogun State has a good and credible product . Just give it a try and you will be pleasantly surprised . ”
