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, Amuwo Odofin lacked

“We have not been visible at the national, so my going to represent you is to ensure facilitation of quality Infrastructure, employments 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 urge them to give him his support again.

“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.” PLS said.

In his remarks, the Apex leader appraised the recent discourse with the APC National Leader Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, where a note of warning was sounded against violence during party’s primaries and the general elections.

Sekoni tasked all aspirants to comport themselves well before and after the election so as not to soil their image.

“We won’t just pick after primaries to screen aspirants,soon that will be, what we are doing now is to prepare towards primaries, all the wards and delegates are present here.

“I urge you all we are out for indirect primaries which involves delegates and people at the ward.

“At a parley with the National Leader yesterday, he told us that all should go and contest on the field whoever emerges without rancour should progress to INEC.

“So if primary churn someone out nobody should contest. No violence in Lagos where he is coming out for presidency. Any aspirants found wanting can be denied or disqualified.

“So all of us who have preferred aspirants,we have never force anybody to do the bidding of one person. It is going to be an electoral college and the national will determine who will be there.
