 Texas man arrested with 75 pounds of marijuana in luggage while flying to London, police say A Texas man was arrested at Miami International Airport after authorities found 75 pounds of marijuana in his luggage before he could board a flight to London.

 Governor Abiodun Promises Peaceful Transition At The End of His Tenure, the first in the 50-year history of Ogun state


Ogun State governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, has assured residents of the state that his administration will record a seamless and rancour-free transition at the end of his second term in 2027, pledging to set a historic benchmark in the state’s governance history.


The governor gave the assurance on Thursday during the Christmas church service at St. James’ Anglican Church, Iperu-Remo, declaring that his administration is determined to be the first in Ogun State’s history to successfully hand over power without acrimony.


"As we approach 2027, not only will we finish well and finish strong, by the grace of God this administration will hand over successfully to a successor.


"It will be the first peaceful transition in the 50-year history of Ogun State. By God’s grace, I will sit down as your governor at my send-forth ceremony and also sit at the swearing-in ceremony of my successor," Abiodun said.


The governor attributed his confidence to what he described as solid governance, economic expansion and people-focused development recorded under his watch, noting that Ogun State’s economy has grown significantly since he assumed office.


According to him, the state’s annual budget has expanded from about N355 billion at the inception of his administration to over N2.7 trillion, reflecting increased economic activities and growing investor confidence.


"Our economy has grown almost five times from what we met on ground. New factories and industries are springing up across the state.


"We have reconstructed over 2,000 schools, created jobs, empowered farmers and expanded opportunities for our people — and we are not done yet. We need your prayers to finish strong," he stated.


Abiodun reaffirmed his commitment to continue using his office to glorify God and serve the people through impactful, people-oriented projects, citing the Gateway International Airport and other key infrastructure projects across the three senatorial districts as lasting legacies of his administration.


He also commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for what he described as purposeful leadership through the Renewed Hope Agenda, noting that the country is gradually stabilising with improved availability of petroleum products, easing inflationary pressures and a more stable foreign exchange regime.
