Saheed Lawal, Right Choice For Egbeda State Constituency, says Inaolaji Akinloye
A notable member of the Oyo State youth arm of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Inaolaji Akinloye Adisa, has described Lawal Saheed Abiodun, who is aspiring for a House of Assembly seat in the Egbeda Constituency of Oyo State, as a credible candidate worthy of the party ticket based on his antecedents.
Speaking during the continuation of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors’ 14-Federal Constituency Tour held on Friday, 9th January, in the Egbeda/Ona-Ara Federal Constituency, Akinloye, a former Special Adviser to the late Gov. Abiola Ajimobi on Information Culture and Public Affairs, said the youth arms of the APC during their summit held in December have agreed on credible and transparent primaries, which will be favorable to credible candidates like Hon. Lawal to emerge.
“Based on what happened in 2023, whereby what transpired then was full of charade, and based on the fact that the youths’ arms of the party had just organized a summit in December, where we all concluded that we are not going to allow such things to happen again.
“What we want is credible party primaries where no godfather can dictate which candidate should be picked, and I believe with such a transparent system, a good and genuine candidate like Sahees Lawal Abiodun can emerge as the party flag bearer.”
Inaolaji added that “I have been friends with Saheed Abiodun Lawal for 31 years, and he is an easygoing person. When he informed me that he’s going into politics, I was amazed that such a fine gentleman want to join politics. “But I looked into his background and found that he possesses the necessary qualities.”
“I can attest to his good gestures to his constituents, because the last empowerment he did about two months ago was centered on education, where he distributed 60-leaf exercise books numbering more than 200 thousand pieces to school pupils within the wards in Egbeda Local Government, and not only that, he had been reaching out to widows and the less privileged periodically.”
