...Advocates for Electoral Integrity
As the highly anticipated bye-election for the Remo Federal constituency approaches on August 16th, Chief Olumide Aderinokun, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate from the recent National Assembly election for the Ogun Central Senatorial District, has publicly endorsed PDP candidate Asiwaju Bola Oluwole.
Aderinokun firmly believes that Oluwole is equipped with the qualifications and attributes needed to ensure quality representation for the people of Remo.
Aderinokun, an experienced politician from the Egba region, highlighted Oluwole's strong ties to the community, portraying him as a grassroots leader with a deep understanding of local issues.
"Oluwole truly understands the dynamics of the Remo constituency better than any other candidate in this race," he stated. He elaborated on Oluwole's commitment to the area, noting that his residency and business operations within the constituency allow him to be acutely aware of the daily challenges faced by residents. "He genuinely grasps the plights of the people, and he is the candidate who can effectively deliver the much-needed dividends of democracy to the people of Remo," Aderinokun added.
In his remarks, Aderinokun also urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to prioritize transparency and fairness in the upcoming election. He stressed the importance of a credible electoral process that ensures a level playing field for all candidates. "I call upon INEC to be transparent and to allow for fair competition in the conduct of this important election," he asserted. Furthermore, he called on security agencies to actively prevent any form of electoral thuggery that could undermine the integrity of the voting process, emphasizing the need for INEC to restore public confidence in the electoral system.
Confident in Oluwole's candidacy, Aderinokun declared him the frontrunner in this election. He criticized the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for its failures and the troubling state of the Nigerian economy under their governance.
"The APC has let Nigerians down, and there is little to celebrate regarding the current economic situation in the country. One can't help but wonder what the selling point of the APC's candidate could possibly be," Aderinokun concluded, underscoring the urgent need for change and effective representation in the Remo Federal constituency.
