Breaking: Southwest Governors Forum Appoint New Chairman
In a significant development, Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has been elected as the new chairman of the Southwest Governors Forum, filling a position left vacant since December 2023. The decision was made during the forum’s meeting held on Monday in Lagos.
The position of chairman had been empty following the tragic passing of former Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, who led the forum before his demise on December 27, 2023, in a German hospital.
Governor Sanwo-Olu, who hosted the meeting, is now tasked with leading the forum, which includes Governors Lucky Aiyedatiwa of Ondo, Dapo Abiodun of Ogun, Seyi Makinde of Oyo, Ademola Adeleke of Osun, and Biodun Oyebanji of Ekiti state. Their combined presence and collaboration mark a pivotal moment for the Southwest region as they work together under the leadership of Governor Sanwo-Olu.
