As the Gateway Games unfold, Adebiyi Adeleye, Special Adviser to the Governor on Political Affairs and a leading aspirant in the upcoming Remo Constituency bye-election, has delivered a stirring message to Team Ogun: rise and shine like the legends before you.
With passion and pride, Adeleye invoked the legacy of Ogun’s finest. From literary giant Wole Soyinka and political icon Obafemi Awolowo to visionary leaders like Kunle Soname and Adetola Emmanuel-King, and global ambassadors such as Anthony Joshua, Falilat Ogunkoya and Wasiu Ayinde. These are not just names. They are living proof that Ogun breeds greatness.
“We’re not just participants. We’re pacesetters,” Adeleye declared, urging athletes to channel the grit, brilliance and tenacity that define the Gateway State.
Backing Governor Dapo Abiodun’s transformational initiatives, including the much-lauded Gateway International Airport, Adeleye emphasized the power of strategic leadership to unlock opportunity. His promise is a politics grounded in progress, community and the undying Ogun spirit.
As the Games continue, so does the legacy. Team Ogun, this is your moment. The world is watching.
