2027: Ogun gov candidate pledges reform

Rotimi Babajide, the Allied Peoples Movement governorship candidate in Ogun State, has pledged to declare a state of emergency in education if elected in 2027. According to the Daily Post Nigeria, he described the current state of education in Ogun as being in decline and in need of urgent attention.

Babajide also criticised the impact of the Federal Government's fuel subsidy removal. He said Nigerians are currently buying petrol at between N1,400 and N1,500 per litre without experiencing corresponding improvements in their living conditions.

The candidate expressed his disapproval of a governor's remark on the subsidy issue, describing it as derogatory and unfitting for a public official.
