[Hon. (Dr) Oladipupo Adebutu @ladiadebutu]

Every election cycle presents a defining moment for the future of our nation. Beyond the politics, campaigns and personalities, the choices we make at the polls have real consequences for our economy, our security, our institutions and the quality of life of our people.

As we look ahead to the 2027 elections, it is therefore important that our conversations go beyond political interests and focus on the issues that truly matter to Nigerians.

Today, I had the honour of attending the 7th Annual Lecture organised by Freedom Online, themed “2027 Elections: Economy, Security and Nigeria’s Future.”

It was a valuable opportunity to listen, reflect and engage with important perspectives on the direction of our country and the choices before us as we approach another crucial election cycle.

I was particularly honoured to share the occasion with His Excellency, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State, @jidesanwoolu who was the Guest Speaker, His Excellency, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, @obalofin former Governor of Ogun State, who was the Special Guest of Honour and Alhaji Lai Mohammed former Minister of Information.

As Nigerians, we must continue to encourage conversations that place the national interest above personal and partisan considerations. The future we desire will ultimately be shaped by the decisions we make today.

I am deeply grateful for the warm reception, fatherly counsel, and royal blessings bestowed upon us by Kabiyesi and the Egba Traditional Council.

My sincere appreciation to Kabiyesi and the entire Egba Traditional Council for their prayers, wisdom, and unwavering commitment to the progress of Egbaland and Ogun State. May God continue to bless and preserve our revered traditional institution.

I am deeply grateful and honoured to receive the Award of Excellence presented by the National Egba Muslim Community.

This recognition is particularly meaningful to me because it comes from a community whose growth, welfare, and development I have remained committed to over the years. I accept this award with humility and dedicate it to everyone who continues to support our shared vision of a more united, prosperous, and inclusive Egbaland.

Today's event was also an opportunity to reaffirm that commitment through an additional donation of ₦100 million towards the construction of new buildings at the Egba Central Mosque, Kobiti. Supporting worthy causes that strengthen our communities and promote religious harmony will always remain close to my heart.

I am equally encouraged by the generosity displayed by members of our team and other well-meaning individuals who also contributed to the project. Together, we can achieve so much more for our people.

My sincere appreciation to the Egba Muslim Community, the Ariya Odun Committee, our revered traditional rulers, religious leaders, and everyone who made the occasion a memorable one.

May Almighty Allah continue to bless our land with peace, progress, and abundance.

Thank you, and may God bless Egbaland.
