Director-General of the Citizenship and Leadership Training Centre (CLTC), Aderinsola Abiola, has criticised Bashir Ahmad, former presidential aide, for questioning the use of coordinated attire by southern governors at their recent security meeting.<\/p>\n
Abiola said adire remains a major source of income for many people in Ogun and should not be trivialised.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur adire is our pride in Ogun state; it\u2019s produced locally and has been a source of livelihood for many of our people \u2014 especially women and youths \u2014 for several generations,\u201d she wrote on X.<\/p>\n
She said supporting locally made fabric boosts economic opportunities which are \u201ckey in the fight against insecurity\u201d.<\/p>\n
Abiola added that Ogun is known for its hospitality and that the state governor promotes adire at every opportunity.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cSo whether we\u2019re discussing security or hosting a rally, we will wear adire. We should focus more on resolutions from the meeting and commend the initiative shown by the southern governors, but I\u2019m glad that you noticed our adire and are talking about it.\u201d<\/p>\n
She also jokingly offered Ahmad an opportunity to pick a fabric from a local seller, saying: \u201cMy treat, please.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ahmad had earlier wondered why coordinated outfits were necessary \u201ceven for a meeting as critical as a security-related one\u201d.<\/p>\n
The southern governors met in Abeokuta, Ogun state, on Monday to discuss escalating insecurity and economic challenges.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
