The revered monarch said the next election was payback time for Abiodun who had contributed immensely to the development of Ijebuland at different times.
Oba Adetona told the APC candidate to place priority on the reconstruction of roads linking Ogun to Lagos and Oyo states and equally rural roads for economic advancement.
The traditional ruler also advised him not to take the people of the state for granted when he becomes the number one citizen of the state, by fulfilling his electoral promises.
He also told him not to make his deputy a “spare tyre” by making her redundant, which according to him is peculiar to some governors in the country.
