“Epe has not enjoyed the dividends of democracy enough.

“The performance of the incumbent government in the community is commendable but more still needs to be done.

“Some of the road projects in the division are yet to be completed. I appeal to you, Sanwo Olu to kindly complete the projects for us, ” he said.

Also speaking, Oba Babatunde Ogunlaja, the Aladeshonye II, of Noforija, in Eredo LCDA, near Epe, said that the progress and community development of Epe division was the priority of all the traditional rulers in the division.

“The royal blessings showered on Sanwo-olu today will pave way for victory.

Oba Ganiyu Asunmo, the Alayandelu of Odoyanlu, in Eredo, near Epe, urged his subjects and other community members to give Sanwo-olu their support.
