2023: Why change of baston at NASS necessary in Amuwo-Odofin- Reps aspirant
…promises to offer quality representation
An aspirant for Amuwo-Odofin Federal Constituency for the House of Representatives on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prince Lanre Sanusi, has expressed the need for the constituency to change baton at the National Assembly in 2023.
Sanusi made this known on Saturday when he visited the party’s leader in the constituency, Prince Omonoba Saliu Sekoni and other stakeholders, notifying them about his intention to vie for the House of Representatives seat.
He noted that the constituency has suffered neglect in areas of Infrastructural developments and more dividend of democracy, promising to bring new ideas into national representation.
Sanusi said: “The past is gone; we are focused and resolute not like others who dilly dally on what they wanted. Hon. Jimi Benson of Ikorodu, Hon. James Faleke Ikeja and the Speaker of the Federal House of Reps Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila of Surulere are my models, ever since the era of Hon. Olukolu who is here seated.
“We have not been visible at the national level, so my going to represent you is to ensure facilitation of quality Infrastructure, employment opportunities and more here.
“As someone who put his trust in God, whoever says he knows them all in Abuja, I tell them we know God.
“Oghene has no constituency office and he has been holding forte at the NASS since. They said PDP is more than us in Amuwo, I say they have been stealing our votes.”
Appreciating the leaders for their unalloyed commitment to the actualisation of his aspiration, he urged them to give him his support again.
“I appreciate you for being consistent with me. We have an opponent in Oghene or any others; we will defeat them. I want the same backings you gave me in 2019 with which we won the primaries. May the good Lord repose the soul of late Hon. Adegeye.
“Allow me to be your Reps member in Abuja, you have done it before and I want it again and I will not fail you. I also crave your permission to tour round the LGA and Wards. I urge you to support me again,” he added.
In his remarks, Sekoni appraised the recent discourse with the APC National Leader Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, where a note of warning was sounded against violence during the party’s primaries and the general elections.
He tasked all aspirants to comport themselves well before and after the election so as not to soil their image.
