OGUN 2019: YEWA ANGLICAN DOICESE CELEBRATES SENATOR ADEOLA AT SYNOD

                                                                                                                                                                                 The Bishop of Yewa Diocese, Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, Rt. Revd Micheal

Adedayo Oluwarohunbi has commended Senator Solomon Adeola for his sterling

political and public service to his constituents and his quest to liberate his

people from Yewa in Ogun West saying he sees a former House of Representatives

and serving senator becoming a Governor in 2019 in the state.

While introducing the senator who was the special guest of the Third Session of the

Ninth Synod of the Diocese of Yewa at St. Paul Church, Owode-Yewa in Ogun State

over the weekend, the Bishop said he believes that it is just and right for a

Yewa-Awori indigenes to occupy the seat of governor in Ogun state adding that

in the person of Senator Adeola, the people of Ogun West have a good chance of

governing Ogun State if he decides to contest.

He said the theme of the synod which is taken from the Book of Numbers Chapter 13:30 as “..we are well able”  is apt for the people of

Yewaland as this is their chance to govern the state adding that with God on

the side of Ogun 2019 is sure for them as governor.

In his address to the Synod, Senator Adeola said that the theme of the Synod is

symbolically motivating to him as a person as it captures the rationale for his

undying interest to add his quota to the development of his people in Yewa

land.  “I must say that the story surrounding this

verse in the Holy Bible has a similarity to the modern day situation of Yewa

people in Ogun state in their attempt to redress age long inequity and

injustice that has manifested in economic underdevelopment and untold suffering

of our people.” the senator stated.

In his sermon at the Thanksgiving service, Rt. Revd Timothy Yahaya, the Bishop of

Kaduna Diocese stated that based on the theme of the Synod everyone with a

believe in God will overcome any obstacle just as Caleb and Joshua faith in God

was instrumental to the liberation of the Isrealites.

Senator adeola was accompanied to the event by Hon Maf Babatunde , a former House of

representative member, Hon . Ayilara Tajudeen, former chairman of Imekon Afon

LGA, Hon(Mrs) Funmi Efuwape, former Chairperson of Sagamu LGA, Hon. Nurudeen

Diyaolu, former chaiman of Obafemi Owode LGA, and Hon. Wole Enilolobo, former

chairman of Ifo LGA.

Among those present at the service were the Olu of Owode Oba Samuel Akindele,    the

Oloke of Oke Odan, Oba Dr. Rotimi Fagbenro, Oba Olu Okikiolu, the royal father of Tongeji Island and Ven. Sam Wussa, the Reverend of

the St. Paul Church, Owode Yewa.
