Indigenes of Ogun State residing in Canada have appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari and their home state Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, to urgently strive to turn around Nigeria for good and rekindle the hope of citizens.

The indigenes under the auspices of Olumo Progressive Association Canada Inc, also urged other elected political office holders to see the new era in the country as an opportunity to rejig the nation`s economy, education, socio-infrastructural, power and security decay, amongst others, in the country.

In a release signed by the association’s President, Chief Femi Shodunke and General Secretary, Mr. Afolabi Bakare made available to The Mega StarNews, they noted that Nigerians at home and in diaspora, no doubt, are not happy with the state of affairs in the country, particularly in the areas of economy, unemployment, power and insecurity.
