LAGOS—Ogun Professionals for Development, OPD, a socio-economic group, has thrown its weight behind the re-election of the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and Ogun State governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, in Saturday’s governorship poll.

It premised its support for the governor on the prevalent peace and security in the state, which is conducive to growth and development, noting that “Ogun cannot afford to return to the dark days of insecurity, violence, mismanagement of public funds and other atrocities that scared away investors and stagnated development.”

The group, according to a statement signed by its Director of Publicity, Prince Dele Taiwo, said: “The actions of Governor Amosun since mounting the saddle of leadership in 2011 are in synch with democratic norms.”
