Ahead of 2023 general elections, two political groups, Abiru Consolidated Team (ACT) and Tokunbo Abiru Ambassadors (TAA) have supported the re-election bid of Senator Tokunbo Abiru.
Abiru is the current Senator representing Lagos East Senatorial District of Lagos state at the National Assembly.
The groups adjudged his performance in office in the last sixteen months as outstanding and unprecedented.
Abiru Consolidated Team (ACT) led by its convener Peju Akinyemi and co-convener, Shakiru Seidu paid a courtesy visit to Senator Abiru at his Constituency office in Ikorodu to pledge support for his re-election bid.
In his remarks, Akinyemi said the group was enamoured of the outstanding achievements of Abiru within a short period in office adding that the Senator championed bills, motions and programmes that have tremendous impact on the larger number of people.
He said, ‘’ Distinguished Senator sir, Abiru Consolidation Team (ACT) is a child of necessity, created for the twin purposes of propagating your #DoingGood activities across Lagos East Senatorial District and for mobilisation of support for your re-election to the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria”.
Tokunbo Abiru Ambassadors (TAA) support group, in a statement signed by the Coordinator of the group, Dr Seriki Muritala and Secretary, Olafare Comfort, said, “Our desire to put up with him for a second term was based on our belief in his incredible scorecards, which we can attest to. We all know that making laws is a lawmaker’s principal task, Senator Abiru did not fail in this regard. To his name are 14 bills and 2 motions at different stages of legislative considerations”.
Few weeks ago, prominent leaders in the district including members of the Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC), Senatorial Leader Busura Alebiosu, Asiwaju Olorunfunmi Basorun and Chief Akanni Seriki Bamu had endorsed Abiru for a fresh term at his official declaration in Ikorodu.
Also, Sen. Solomon Adeola (Yayi) who represents Lagos West, had also attested to the achievements and contributions Abiru during plenary sessions
He said: “I can testify that his contributions in the Senate are excellent. His contribution to Finance Committee when the agencies are invited is second to none. He asks professional questions and it has given the Finance Committee an edge.There is no rival. It is good for Lagos that he will come back as a ranking senator.”
Meanwhile, Abiru had submitted his expression of interest and nomination forms for the All Progressives Congress (APC).
