Image
Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, has welcomed members of the Otunba Gbenga Daniel (OGD) political family and the Buruji Kashamu political group into the mainstream of the All Progressives Congress (APC), describing their decision as a significant step towards strengthening the party ahead of the 2027 general elections. Governor Abiodun received the groups at a meeting held at the Presidential Lodge, Abeokuta, where he commended their decision to align with the APC and work together for the success of the party and its candidates across Ogun East Senatorial District. He said political actors who share common interests should be able to speak with one voice, particularly in an election year, rather than dissipate their energy working for different political parties. The Governor, however, expressed concern over the recent relaunch of the foundation of the Senator representing Ogun East Senatorial District and former governor of the state, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, where the Peoples ...

Today, standing prominently on that corridor is Prince Court Estate — a thriving residential community of completed and occupied homes, with its own electricity supply, shopping mall, health centre, ATM gallery and security post. It is more than an estate. It is a statement of what housing policy can become when it is conceived not merely as the provision of shelter, but as an instrument of economic development, urban renewal and wealth creation. That is perhaps the most important story behind the housing transformation taking place quietly across Ogun State under Governor Dapo Abiodun. When the first phase of Prince Court Estate took shape at Kobape, few would have imagined that it would become the anchor of a rapidly developing residential corridor. The estate has since expanded through four phases, while the surrounding area ...
