“Kabiyesi has promised to present our matter before Prince Dapo Abiodun, the governor elect of Ogun state because we were wrongfully sacked,” Awolesi said.
He said they came to the paramount ruler in Remoland because he is a father of all and a true leader. “For us, Oba Babatunde Adewale Ajayi is a respected king in Yoruba land whose words are never underestimate. He is also a man of integrity and as his children we have come to him to wade into the matter.
“Although we are assured that Prince Dapo Abiodun will keep his promise, we just said we should mention it the Akarigbo of Remo as well.
“The governor-elect is a man that has succeeded in business and a man that is full of vision and whose ideas and initiatives will benefit the people of Ogun state. In fact, he is a reformer and his policies will transform Ogun state and put the state on the global map.
“We are ready to help implement the ideas and policies of the governor-elect and that is why we are asking to be reinstated into active service as well as unemployed among our members should be considered for employment in Ogun state.
He assured the governor-elect of their unflinching support as he is sworn-in on May 29 to begin his first term in office.
