Speaking at the event, an elated Baale of Ojelana, Fijabi Mathew Ojelana thanked Ashiru for fulfilling his promise, ” You have liberated Ojelana community with your kind gesture,” he said.
Fijabi added that , In the last 50 years, we have not set our eyes on electricity.We shall all support your aspiration and work for your party. In the same vein, he pleaded with the Ogun State government to help in grading their roads and see to the dilapidated schools in the community. The community leader, Evangelist Femi Odumbaku and woman leader, Alhaja Ejima Akilo also expressed their appreciation to Ashiru.
