The governor of Ogun State, Prince Dapo Abiodun has attributed the victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in last Saturday’s by-election for the Remo Federal Constituency to the deliberate efforts of his administration to improve the lives of the people and transform the state through aggressive infrastructural development.
The governor stated this on Sunday in Iperu at a press conference to celebrate the victory of the party’s flagbearer in the election, Hon. Adesola Elegbeji, who was declared the winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
He said the people of Remo Federal Constituency have spoken loudly, and the election serves as a referendum on the government’s exceptional strides in governance through their votes, despite desperate attempts by some people to intimidate, harass, and compromise them with unholy inducements.
He said the election has turned out to be a true testament to the popularity of his administration and the party across the country, just as it has validated the success of President Bola Tinubu’s revolution in the last 24 months in office.
Abiodun noted that the victory coincided with the approval by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) for the Gateway International Airport to commence commercial flight operations.
While congratulating Mrs. Adesola Elegbeji on her well-deserved victory, the governor urged her to carry the mandate with humility and diligence, adding that efforts should be geared toward sustaining the vision of the renewed hope agenda of President Tinubu.
In her remarks, the House of Representatives member-elect, Hon. Adesola Elegbeji, appreciated the people for the confidence reposed in her, assuring them that their interests would be put on the front burner at the national level.
She said women, youth development and empowerment, and rural integration would be her priorities, just as efforts would be made to secure constituency projects that would have a direct impact on the people in the three local government areas that make up the constituency.
