Abiodun made the remarks in a Facebook post on Tuesday, where he also disclosed that he presented the President with a ceremonial sword as a symbolic gesture.
The governor said the visit marked a historic moment for the state, highlighting the commissioning of key projects including the Gateway International Airport, Gateway Airlines, and the arrival of a cargo airline.
“Yesterday, I had the honour and privilege to visit and thank the President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic, for the historic visit to Ogun State,” he said.
He added that the gesture of the ceremonial sword was linked to the President’s traditional title, Jagaban, describing it as a symbol of leadership and strength.
“I presented him with a ceremonial sword in his esteemed capacity as the Jagaban (leader of warriors/conquerors), urging him to continue his war on crime and criminality, anti-corruption, and particularly as he embarks on the second-term re-election,” Abiodun stated.
The governor also reaffirmed Ogun State’s political support for the President, saying the state remained firmly behind him.
Recall that President Tinubu visited Ogun State over the weekend to commission the Gateway International Airport in Iperu and unveil Gateway Air, the state-owned airline.
