In a Media parley held at the local government secretariat, Owode Egba, Ogun State, Ambassador Ogunsola said one thing that had remained constant in his administration was the desire to make a difference in the lives of the electorate who freely gave him their mandate.

He added that his regime had installed maximum security guarantee in the local government by putting all the security agencies on the alert as the Chairman and Chief Security Officer of the local government, so that the good people of Obafemi Owode would always sleep with their eyes closed.
In his statement, “We have shared ideas with the security agents to be proactive and, the issue of security has been taken seriously by me because safety for one is safety for all.”
