Teachers are the central factors that drive every other sectors in social engineering”.
“Therefore for PDP, teachers’ bountiful rewards should not and can no longer remain in heaven. Our great party shall continue to, in relentless partnership with the teachers to bring their entitlements to their tables”.
“Our party notes with strong concerns, the unimpressive working conditions which Ogun teachers are subjected to by the ruling APC government. Teachers’ statutory monthly renumerations are being diverted to private vaults, other standing emoluments, gratuity, pensions and even leave bonuses are not being paid as at when due. Infact, in Ogun state, teachers have never had it so bad and their high sense of perseverance is applauded”.

We also restate our commitments and solidarity as a party with the teachers and other working class in our State. Their cause shall continue to be our cause as we remain resolute in championing a reign of a better future for all in Ogun state and beyond”.
“Happy Teachers’ Day, dear teachers”.
