“If elected, nothing short of qualitative representative and productive engagement for my people at Mushin II constituency at the green chamber from 2023” .

These were exact words of the Publicity Secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State, Hon. Seye Oladejo, today as he officially declared his intention to represent Mushin II Constituency in the House of Representatives in the coming election.

Before thousands of APC leaders and members, market leaders, artisans, stakeholders, friends and associates, who attended his declaration at the Archbishop Aggey Memorial School, Ilasamaja Mushin, on Saturday, Oladejo said Mushin has produced many great men and women, who have distinguished themselves at the federal and state levels by writing their names in gold in politics and governance.

” Among the prominent politicians produced by Mushin is the first Civilian Governor of Lagos State, late Alhaji Lateef Jakande, who in death remains a reference point in good governance; the Second Republic Commissioner for Transport and former member of the Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC), HRH Oba Olatunji Hamzat, who discovered, nurtured and mentored me in politics; an influential politician, the Lagos State Vice Chairman of the defunct Unity Party of Nigeria – UPN – Alhaji Rafiu Ishola Solomon, whose influence reverberated across the length and breadth of Lagos State. His son and my leader, Senator Ganiyu Olanrewaju Solomon (GOS), a former Mushin Local Government chairman, Honorable member of the House of Representatives and a two-term member of the Senate and of course a principal officer, gave me my first breakthrough in government when he appointed me as the Secretary to the Local Government. He remains a destiny helper.”

Oladejo, a one-time Chairman of Mushin Local Government Area and former Lagos State Commissioner for Special Duties and Inter-Governmental Relations, promised to provide and guarantee qualitative, discerning, visible and result-oriented representation for his constituency when elected as a federal lawmaker.

“My main promise to the people of Mushin II Federal Constituency if given the opportunity to represent them in the House of Representatives is to provide and guarantee qualitative, discerning, visible and result-oriented representation for my constituency. I will also leverage on the experience of the best hands in Mushin II Federal Constituency to provide the desired representation in every sense of the word to my constituents,” he said.

“I assure you that if I am elected as a member of the House of Representatives, representing Mushin II Federal Constituency, I am going to be a visible, listening, discerning and active legislator in the Green Chamber. I will also contribute my quota to the growth and development of our dear Lagos State and Nigeria. I will do this and many other great things to fulfill my part of the social contract with the people and collaborate with other arms of government to bring unquantifiable benefits to my people.”

The APC chieftain called on leaders, members and stakeholders of the ruling party within and outside Mushin to support his aspiration to be APC flagbearer in the next February 25 House of Representatives elections.

The declaration ceremony was well attended by APC members, friends and well wishers.

Most of them who spoke with our correspondent pledge their support for Oladejo. Some of them testified of his exploits and achievement when he was the Odi-Olowo LCDA chairman as well as his current efforts as state publicity secretary of the party.
