An Ogbomoso new group has emerged, pushing unrelentingly to put Ogbomoso in an unassailable position to emerge as capital of the proposed New Oyo state.
The group asks for creation of new Oyo state excluding Ibadan the present capital city.
The group newly constituted and led by Dr Akin Oladeji-Johnbrown, president of Ogbomoso Recreation Club (ORC), is composed of other patriotic members including Prof. Jide Ajao, Barrister Kayode Bankole, Dr. Tayo Magbagbeola, Mrs. Ruth Olasoko Adeyinka and Mr. Banji Ojo.
The initiative tagged “Ogbomoso Capital City Project” according to Dr. Oladeji-Johnbrown is borne out of the desire to drive the proposal to make Ogbomoso the capital of the new Oyo State.
“We formed the group to drive the aspiration to transform Ogbomoso into the capital of new Oyo state being proposed.
“We took it upon ourselves to propel the aspiration. We need a coordinated approach.
If some people don’t stand in the gap, the project may lack the cutting edge needed to realize the dream.”
