South West Coordinator and President, Ogun State Chapter of the NPYC, Gbenga Ige said that the entire youths in the Gateway State endorsed Senator Amosun for a second term in office in recognition of his sterling performance in all the three Senatorial Districts of the state in the last one thousand days, We have gone round the length and breadth of the state, we can authoritatively say that the governor has within this period he assumed office, turned our state to Dubai.’’ ‘’We are here as progressive youths of the state to declare our support come 2015, having carefully studied what the governor has done so far in the last 1000 days. This government has been an eye opener for us that when we have a man of vision, a focused leader, a man who has what it takes to move the state forward, the country can be good. ‘’It has shown to us that if we have people like our governor in power in Nigeria tomorrow, all these impossibilities can easily be made possible. We have seen the tremendous work the governor has done and we have concluded within ourselves that come year 2015, he will get the youth’s support, including those of the students, transporters, and other youth organisations’’, Ige stated. He advised Amosun not to bother to campaign ahead of the next election, pointing out that, ‘’we don’t know what any other person could use to campaign because the work our governor has done is beyond what an ordinary person can come to solicit for vote. ‘’Achievers do not speak for their achievements. It is their achievement that speaks for them. We are here to tell him that we are going to ensure that we give all our strength, all our efforts to see that he gets all our votes. We have all come together to tell the Governor that come 2015, the road to Oke-Mosan is for him. Oke-Mosan is not vacant till 2019’’, Ige added. Representative NANS, Ogun State Chapter, Olusegun Clement, said that the entire youth in the state deemed it fit to participate in the rally as a way of giving credence to tremendous works of the present administration since its inception, adding that, the gigantic projects in schools across the state are enough reasons to support Senator Amosun for a second term. ‘’We have seen the gigantic projects ranging from primary to secondary schools across the state. We are using this opportunity again to affirm our support for His Excellency. We want to say at this point in time that the entire students in Ogun are ready to support SIA for a second term come rain, come shine’’, he said.
