A group, Non-Yoruba Indigenes Empowerment Initiative (NYIEI) in Ogun State, has pledged its support to the administration of Governor Ibikunle Amosun.

Speaking at its end of year gathering at Ota, founder of the organisation, Dr. Chris Orie, said non-Yoruba indigenes in the state are satisfied with Amosun’s performance since he came into office.

According to him, the governor had been fair to both indigenes and non-indigenes living in the state.

This he said had given them sense of belonging as well as the motivation to contribute their quota towards the development of the state. Orie said the purpose of forming the organisation is to serve as a rallying point for non-Yoruba indigenes in Ogun state and ensure peace and harmonious relationship between them and their host community.

He also appealed to the governor to always carry the non-indigenes along while making appointments and giving employments.

According to him, as leaders of the non-indigenes, they would always make sure that government policies and  programmes get to every nook and cranny of the state.
