Oba Akinyemi, who is the Eselu of Iselu kingdom in Yewa North Local Government Area, noted that Salako is the first ministerial nominee from the senatorial district since the country’s return to democratic rule in 1999.
The senatorial district has also not produced a civilian governor since the creation of Ogun State over four decades ago.
In a statement signed by Oba Akinyemi, he described Salako’s nomination as ”a soothing balm to our long years of marginalisation.”
