According to them, Hon. Waliu Taiwo has paid his dues as an Aworiman, a statesman and a man with much love for his people and Ogun State in general.
They recalled his roles in the development of the Ota and Aworiland, his contributions to the political and economic development of Ogun State as a lawmaker, commissioner and a party leader that always offers advice to the people in government, whenever this is required.
We were informed that as a way of showing love and solidarity for the man of the people, “Aso Ebi” (uniform) for the occasion is out and that four yards go for N2000, while six yards go for N3000.
