The mega endorsement is part of activities lined up to celebrate the 30th Coronation anniversary of Oba Oladunjoye Fajana, the Ajana Afa of Okeagbe Akoko.
Dr Olubunmi Tunji Ojo’s performance in the last two years has surpassed any House of Representatives members that have served in that capacity since the First Republic, the community say. “Therefore, Affa Community has no option but to support him for his second term bid at the Green Chambers,” they added.
