Excited by his successful outing at 2020 BBNaija lockdown show, Ogun Gov. Dapo Abiodun has congratulated Mr Olamilekan Agbelesebioba with the stage name Laycon.
Persecondnews recalls that Laycon had on Sunday won the Big Brother Naija Season 5 by a very wide margin.
The finale of the Big Brother Naija Lockdown Edition was contested by five housemates: Laycon, Dorathy, Nengi, Neo and Vee.
Laycon had garnered 60 per cent of the votes, with his closest rival, Dorathy, amassing 21.85 per cent of the final day votes. Nengi scored 15.03 per cent, while Neo had 1.94 per cent and Vee 1.18 per cent.

Laycon, a musician, goes home with a cash prize of N30 million, a trip for two to Dubai, watch the finals of the UEFA Champions League, and received a year supply of several food products, all amounting to N85 million.

Abiodun said on his social media handle that he was delighted at the feat achieved by a worthy citizen of Ogun State, describing him as a pacesetter who has used his academic and social prowess in the right direction.

“I am delighted to congratulate one of our own in Ogun State, Olamilekan Agbelesebioba, aka @itslaycon for emerging winner of Big Brother Naija Lockdown.

“The pacesetter that you are, you have emerged one of the best in academic and social engagements, so this victory is aptly a confirmation of your brilliance, intellect, and maturity.

“Our administration will continue to support and empower the youth via numerous channels, towards inclusion, job creation, and the utility of our natural youthful energy.

“Youths of Ogun State, Nigeria, Africa and in fact the world over, see you as the face of positive revolution in the history of African entertainment,” the governor wrote.
