The Ogun State Council of Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) has congratulated Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, on his victory at the just concluded election and presentation of Certificate of Return by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Great Achiever Magazine reports that Ogun NUJ Chairman, Comrade Wale Olanrewaju, in a press release, said the NUJ realised that "we are living in tumultuous times, and it takes great courage and sacrifice, as greatly exhibited by Governor Abiodun, to be willing to step forward and lead to navigate these rough waters". 

Olanrewaju noted that having always been a strong passionate leader and a tireless advocate for the people, the NUJ is confident that Governor Abiodun will continue to work tirelessly to serve Ogun State with distinction.

 He urged the governor to surround himself with those who would give wise counsel and unwavering loyalty in his determination to make Ogun a better place for all.

The NUJ Chairman said Ogun journalists wished Governor Abiodun success as he takes up new challenges that await him in his exalted office, and also assured him of the NUJ's full support as he continues on this familiar journey towards elevating the State to a higher level. 

"We strongly look forward to working with you with assured commitment by providing outstanding services in line with global best practices, hoping that you will in turn build a stronger media bonding and effective communication channel that will at all times provide you with professional support.

"While we urge Your Excellency to be magnanimous in victory, we passionately call on all political parties to refrain from violence or inflammatory rhetoric that is capable of questioning the integrity of our wall of unity, as a people, but urge them to register their concerns through established legal mechanisms.

"As we look forward to seeing all the positive changes you will bring about in your second coming in this role, we wish you God's guidance, strength, direction and Solomonic wisdom to deliver on your mandate to the good people of Ogun State", the Chairman concluded.
