August 27, (THEWILL) – Princess Oladuni Odu, the current Secretary to the State Government (SSG) in Ondo State has her eyes set on occupying the Ondo State government house when the tenure of Rotimi Akeredolu expires next year.
She believes that the state is long overdue for a woman to govern it and has thus thrown her hat into the ring. While declaring her ambition, she urged political parties to choose women as the governorship candidates for the 2024 gubernatorial election.
Princess Odu believes she is most qualified to succeed Akeredolu in office, having made history as the first SSG in the state not also forgetting her unflinching loyalty to the governor right from the inception of his administration in 2016.
She was a former Commissioner for Education in the state between 1995 and 1999, and later Commissioner for Women’s Affairs, she is also the pioneer Chairman of the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB).
She prides herself as being around the seat of power for 27 years and makes bold to say that of all the people who have come out to be aspirants, none of them is as exposed to governance as herself.
