Senator Gbenga Daniel has expressed optimism about the possibility of creating a new state from the old Ijebu Province, emphasizing that it’s long overdue.
As a former governor of Ogun State and current senator representing Ogun East, Daniel has been a driving force behind the push for statehood.
The proposed Ijebu State has garnered significant support from stakeholders, including traditional rulers and politicians. The Awujale and Akarigbo of Remoland have emphasized the need for unity among the Ijebu and Remo people to achieve this goal.
A bill proposing the creation of Ijebu State has already passed its first reading at the Nigerian Senate, sponsored by Senator Gbenga Daniel.
While there are still hurdles to overcome, the momentum behind the movement suggests that the creation of a new state from the old Ijebu Province is becoming increasingly feasible.
