Akeredolu added that issues around the Oodua Group of companies were discussed as well as security issues, but refused to explain further.

“As you can see, six governors of the Southwest, under the Southwest governors Forum met today and deliberated on a number of issues, both issues we have in common and national issues.

“We deliberated on a number of them and again, we deliberated on our common heritage which is the Oodua Group of Companies and at the end of the day we have agreed on a number of issues.

“A number of them that have to do with security is not what we can discuss in the open, so I want to thank you,” he said.
