It was the 35th annual celebration of Sagamu day and as expected, sons and daughters of the town trooped in in their large numbers to grace the usually remarkable occasion. Activities for the fiesta reportedly began on Thursday, 24th of October, 2019 with series of programmes.
A reputable son of the town who is currently vying for the Chairmanship position of Amalgamated Motorcyle Owners and Riders Association of Nigeria (AMORAN) in Ogun State, Otunba Nurudeen Aina (Alowonle) was equally on ground and became the centre of attraction. In an apparent show of strength, Alowonle made a grand entry to the event with hundreds of motorcycle riders drumming support for him.
In a rare manner, he had initially distributed helmets to commercial riders across Remo federal constituency. According to him, this is to further see to the welfare of the riders since the helmet is a safety tool, used by the commercial riders. This, as attested to by the riders is first of its kind and a rare show of love by Otunba Nurudeen. It was reported that such kind gesture has not been meted out to riders in Ogun State before. They further expressed that it is a pointer to the fact that Alowonle would be a right peg in the right hole if (by God's grace) he emerges as the State Chairman of AMORAN in Ogun State.
In his address, Otunba Aina said his topmost priority is to see to the welfare and safety of the motorcycle riders in Ogun State. He noted that other measures would be put in place to tighten the belt of safety. Another major highlight of the event was his donation of a huge amount of money to the Sagamu Development Association (S D A). This was greeted with applause and encomiums by everyone present at the event especially the State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun and former governor of Ogun State, H.E, Otunba Gbenga Daniel.
Alh. Nurudeed Aina, otherwise known as ALOWONLE is a sagamu-born business mogul, transport union maestro and a leading aspirant to the office of the Chairman of Amalgamation of Motorcycle Owners and Riders Association of Nigeria (AMORAN, Ogun State Chapter).
