Those close to Governor Dapo Abiodun of the state informed us that he met with some leaders of the APC in the state two weeks ago and expressed his desire to work with aspirants, who will help achieve his vision and mission for the state as he is preparing to govern the state for a second term from 2023.

Sources revealed Hon. Tunji Akinosi is seen by many as a man of character with great ideas that will move the constituency and the state forward if given the opportunity to serve in the green chamber.

It was gathered that the current representative of Ado-Odo/Ota Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Jimoh Ojugbele belongs to the old school and that he lacked the necessary ideas that would lead to more development in the constituency.

“So, the Governor told the delegates in the state that he would be supporting aspirants that would work with him to make things better in the state from 2023.

“The Governor pointed out that he would continue to do his best for the state, but that he needed members of both the national and state assemblies who believe in his ideas to join hands with him to move the state forward.

“There is no doubt that Hon. Akinosi is the choice of the leaders of the party and the people of the area and they have promised to rally round him at the primaries, which comes up in the next few days and also vote for him in the general elections,” said Mr. Olawale Iyanda, a leader of the APC in the area.

“Hon. Tunji Akinosi is ready for the job. He has been preparing himself for the task ahead for some years now and he has a think-tank that has been working day and night to generate ideas and research into what would benefit the people of the area.

“It is not just about going to the House of Representatives, it is about giving the people what they want.

“Akinosi has come a long way, he identifies with the people, he lives among them and he has been offering assistance as at when needed to the people of the area on a regular basis.

“Time has come for action and Hon. Tunji Akinosi is the choice of the people. He has promised and he will fulfill his promises,” said a senior politician in the area, who simply gave his name as Oludele.
