The visit is strategic in the sense that Ondo state stands to gain a lot by virtue of Asiwaju’s presidency as lots of developmental projects that can transform Ondo state can be prioritised and given life.
“About three of such projects come to mind , the development and exploration of the large bitumen deposit , the second largest in the world and only second to Canada must be given adequate attention under the Asiwaju presidency, the development of the seaport in Ondo south will place Ondo state within the global economic view and unleash unprecedented developments in the state,” Oshodi stressed.

“Why Nigeria and Ondo State should vote for Tinubu-Asiwaju is the best of the lots amongst those on the ballot , he’s the only presidential candidate with vast experiences of being a senator of the federal republic of Nigeria , a two term governor and a successful one for that matter that continues till date to ensure that his protégés are in charge of Lagos state 15 years after he left office and thus ensure continuity of the blueprint that he designed for Lagos state, he’s one is the biggest investor in our democracy having built his party from the ground up with control of just one state out of thirty six and formed alliances with other progressives across the length and breath of Nigeria to form the APC that’s currently the ruling party since 2015,” he added.
