The governorship candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement in Ogun State, Rotimi Babajide, has pledged to declare a state of emergency in the education sector to address retrogression in the state if elected in 2027.
Babajide Urges Ogun Education Emergency
Babajide, a town planning expert, pledged while addressing newsmen at a press conference in Abeokuta on Saturday. He stated that the measure was necessary to urgently reverse what he described as a severe decline in Ogun’s educational standards.
“If elected by the grace of God come May 29, 2027, I am going to declare a state of emergency in education because the education that our forefathers brought to us, the likes of Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Chief Tai Solarin, Professor Wole Soyinka, and Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, has suffered a serious decline and retrogression,” Babajide said. Describing the current situation as unfortunate, the APM candidate stressed that the state could no longer afford to let its historic educational legacy slip away. 2027: Music star D’Banj surprises Osun politician with campaign vehicles “This is a shame on us as indigenes of Ogun State.
