"Cases against us are mere distractions. The cases are being instigated by another party, not within our party, but by another party.

"You know they (cases) are mere distractions that will take us to nowhere. We are set, we are waiting for them. We are not afraid. We have too much confidence that come 2023, ADC will win Ogun State."

He however charged members of the party and its supporters to remain steadfast and calm, saying the party has the capacity to drive the State.

Speaking on his plans for the people of the Ogun waterside local government area, Mr Awonuga said, “We are surrounded by water here in Ogun Waterside but this has not translated into any economic benefit. Our research has shown that Ogun Waterside has the deepest sea in Africa. We will build a seaport here.”

He also promised that, should ADC emerge, the wellbeing of pregnant women, children and senior citizens would be prioritize by the government.

“We have many resources here. We are blessed with deposits of bitumen untapped and we have many people ready to come and tap it for us. Industries will be springing up from both left and right. We are determined that we are going to industrialize Ogun State.”

The former Governor of the State and the Senator representing Ogun Central, Senator Ibikunle Amosun has declared support for the Party in the State.
