Governor comes down to control traffic
Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that the Ogun state governor, Dapo Abiodun, showed love to his people on Wednesday, July 7, as he demonstrated what it means to serve.
While he was coming back from work, the man met a huge traffic jam around the Oke-Mosan area of the state. According to him, the congestion was caused by the ongoing road construction in the area.
Instead of disrupting the traffic with the power of his office, he came down from his vehicle and joined strength with the traffic wardens to ease the situation.
