Amdst the 2023 Fadesewa of Shimawa 16th Coronation Anniversary Celebration, Comrade Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, the gubernatorial candidate in Ogun State has made promises of infrastructure development for the community.
Particularly, he promised to upgrade the dilapidated roads in Shimawa, aimed at attracting both local and foreign investments for the town’s advancement.
Speaking amidst the festivities, Comrade Olowu Olayemi Omokehinde, the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the New Nigeria People’s Party, Ogun State Chapter, emphasized the need for Shimawa residents to benefit more from Ajadi’s philanthropic endeavors.
He acknowledged that Ajadi’s benevolence had primarily reached individuals outside Shimawa, attributing it to the candidate’s recent investments in the town.

He underscored the pressing need for development in Shimawa, highlighting the absence of essential amenities such as water and electricity supply.
The monarch placed optimism in Ajadi’s promise to grade the town’s deteriorating roads.
“Your political party is gaining gradual sympathy by the citizens of Nigeria, and you as a candidate from Ogun State are a serious individual that has started the propagation of good governance campaign at an early stage. I wish you all the best in all your endeavors,” Oba Sonuga declared.
The Divisional Police Officer, SP Funsho Bamigboye, lauded Ambassador Ajadi’s commitment to peace and stability in Shimawa.
