The Awujale
said the Ogun State capital Abeokuta was
never recommended among cities considered for Ogun State capital in 1976 when
the state was being created by the military administration of late General
Murtala Muhammed.
The Awujale
and paramount ruler of Ijebuland, Oba Dr Sikiru Adetona stated at the weekend
in his remarks during the turbaning ceremony of Princess Khadijat Adebisi
Edionsere a.k.a Cash Madam as the first Iya Suna of Ogun State by the Muslims
Council.
The royal
father who is the president of the Ogun State Muslims Council, however absolved
Obasanjo who was then Chief of Staff,
Supreme Headquarters, Lieutenant General Olusegun Obasanjo, Obasanjo of any
wrongdoing saying the general only proved ‘to be a true son of Abeokuta.’
The Awujale
also used the occasion to appeal to the people of the state to support the
effort of the state governor Senator Ibikunle Amosun in rebuilding the state.
“It is good
to use your position to positively affect your people. When Ogun State was to
be created, Abeokuta was not the city recommended as state capital. But because
Obasanjo was the second in command, he took the capital to Abeokuta. I don’t
condemn his action, I am only saying our people should learn from that,” Awujale
said.
While
commending Amosun for ongoing projects in the state, Oba Adetona dismissed
allegations in some quarters that the governor is concentrating more on
Abeokuta stressing that state capitals around the world enjoy certain
privileges that befit their status.
“We have
bridge in Ijebu Ode, Sagamu, Abeokuta, Ilaro. The governor is touching
everywhere. Abeokuta is the state capital just like Abuja or Lagos and
therefore should be treated as a state capital.”
Oba Adetona
then charged the newly installed Muslims’ Women leader, Princess Adebisi
Edionsere to continue her support for propagation of Islam through her
philanthropic activities.
