Remo People Demand State Creation, Submit Memorandum To OGD, National Assembly

…Akarigbo Leads Push for Remo State, Proposes Sagamu as Capital.

The people of Remo Land have formally taken a bold step towards self-determination by submitting a memorandum to the National Assembly, seeking the creation of Remo State from the present Ogun State. This historic move, spearheaded by the Akarigbo and Paramount Ruler of Remo Land, Oba Dr. Babatunde Adewale Ajayi, CFR, underscores their commitment to preserving their distinct cultural, economic, and historical identity.

This move marks a departure from the previous proposal for a Remo-Ijebu State, unlike previous proposals that suggested a Remo-Ijebu State, which many Remo indigenes rejected due to concerns over their unique heritage, this new push is solely for Remo State. The proposal highlights the region’s strong economic contributions, industrial potential, and historical ties to Ile-Ife, reinforcing its eligibility for statehood.

The coming weeks and months will be critical as the Nigerian legislative process unfolds. Political observers and residents alike are keen to see how the National Assembly will respond to this historic appeal for state creation.
