Butchers in Ogun State have endorsed governor Dapo Abiodun 's re-election bid and vowed to vote for him at the forthcoming governorship polls.
The butchers on Sunday gathered at Papa Surudara, Sabo, Abeokuta, to drum support for gov. Abiodun's second term bid.
Speaking on behalf of the association, the chairman, Alhaji Sulaiman Omolaja maintained that the butchers would come out en masse on the election day to vote for Dapo Abiodun.
He said there is a very large number of butchers in the state and that they had decided to support the re-election of Prince Dapo Abiodun, adding that the association had been positively touched by the quality leadership which the administration had brought to bear in the state.
The chairman expressed his gratitude to the governor, stating that he looks forward to his 2nd term bid to continue the good job he has been doing in the state.
Omolaja added that with the peaceful mediation of the governor in the affairs of the association, the project by the governor among others are the reasons they want Dapo for 2nd term.
He said, "What we are doing today is to show our support for the governor for his second term bid.
"The reason we are supporting Dapo Abiodun is because he has been a man of integrity and helpful to our association.
"If the governor has not been diligent about some of the matter in the state, it might have been something else.
"There are issues amidst the butchers that the governor had interfered in thereby resolving them amicably. He used to show us support and fulfills it.
"If we are talking about the butchers in the state, Lafenwa is the headquarters and in politics, we Dapo Abiodun Vanguard Butchers Association are the supporters of our governor."
The butchers chairman also commended the Deputy Governor, Mrs Noimot Salako-Oyedele for her support.
He noted that her motherly support to the development of the association cannot be overlooked.
The chairman of the butchers, however, appealed to the Abiodun-led government to continue to support the association in the state.
"I want to advise the governor that he should continue the good job he has been doing in the state.
"We are also imploring him to also consider giving more support to the butchers in the state."
