Aeroland emerges Lagos West PDP senatorial candidate

Otunba Segun Adewale (Aeroland) has emerged the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Lagos West senatorial candidate for the 2023 general elections.

Adewale, who polled 264 votes to emerge winner at the party’s primaries, said in his acceptance speech that all hands need to be on deck to wrestle power from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The PDP candidate said that he would work assiduously with other aspirants to deliver the district for the PDP at the polls.

Adewale added that internal wranglings within the PDP is counterproductive, as the task ahead demands a united and formidable front to come out victorious.

“What I intend doing is total reconciliation especially with the aspirant contesting the seat with me in the person of Hon. Yomi Ogungbe.

“I need to meet with him and ensure we settle our differences before moving to the main elections, because if we don’t come together and work as a team there is no way anybody can win APC in Lagos.

“You can remember, if Tinubu can go to the national and work for Buhari and Buhari won twice, it is not going to be easy, unseating that same person in Lagos.

“So for us to go out to the field to contest against APC, we have to tidy up all the differences in the house, that is what I am doing first,” he said.

He charged the electorates to get their voter cards and make good use of their votes.

“To the electorates they’ve seen it all, a lot of people are suffering now, they need to just get registered and go and vote on that day next year.

“It is not enough for them to vote. They have to stay and secure their votes. That is the way things can get better in Nigeria. It is not enough to go on WhatsApp platform and be talking about desired changes on social media.

“You have to participate in politics and governance for us to see a new Nigeria,” he added.
