Ogun APM Candidate Babajide Promises Education Reform

Rotimi Babajide, the governorship candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) in Ogun State, announced his intention to declare a state of emergency in the education sector if elected on May 29, 2027. Speaking at a press conference in Abeokuta, Babajide, a town planning expert, emphasized the urgent need to address what he termed a severe decline in the state's educational standards.

He referenced the historical contributions of notable figures such as Chief Obafemi Awolowo and Professor Wole Soyinka, lamenting the retrogression of Ogun's educational legacy. Babajide expressed that the current educational situation is a shame for the indigenes of Ogun State, who have a rich history of academic excellence.

He committed to introducing digital tools and modern facilities to enhance learning, ensuring that students can compete globally. Additionally, Babajide endorsed the APM's presidential candidate, Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, expressing confidence in his leadership capabilities.
