The All Progressives Congress Governor on Tuesday, October 6 when he hosted the reality show winner who is an indigene of the state in his office in Abeokuta, said that Laycon’s good character, excellence, good virtues, calmness and integrity would serve as a good example for youths in the state.

He said, “It is hoped that you will help inspire our teeming youths to channel their energies towards positive engagements and shun vices, such as robbery, drug abuse, cultism, advanced fee fraud, cybercrimes and kidnapping, amongst other negative tendencies.”

However, reacting to the devleopment, Adenuga said, ”I’m totally disheartened by the Governor of Ogun state making the winner of #bbnaija an ambassador of the state, rewarding him further with cash and a house.

“No thanks to you sir for further entrenching the sad narrative that we are a nation that rewards trivialities and mediocrity.”

“Our values keep going to the dogs!” Adenuga added.
