The newly inaugurated Governor of Ogun State,
Senator Ibikunle Amosun, on Sunday justified his decision to wear a
70-year-old outfit for his inauguration.
Amosun described the outfit as symbolic.
He disclosed that the attire was given to his father by his grandfather in 1941, adding that his father, however, gave him the same set of clothes as a present about 41 years ago.
“The clothes I have on today were given to my Dad in 1941. The attire is older than me and what we are trying to do is symbolic. It is to preserve our value, to preserve our heritage. Nobody ever knew that today would come to pass,” the new governor stated.
