OGUN 2015: House of Reps’ Science & Tech Cmtte Chairman Picks Guber Form
Ahead of November 29th Governorship Primary election of the Peoples Democratic Party, the Chairman, House of Reps Committee on Science and Technology, Hon. Abiodun Isiaq Akinlade on Friday picked the nomination form to contest the Ogun State governorship election primaries on the platform of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
NigerianEcho gathered that Akinlade, who is representing Yewa South/Ipokia Federal Constituency for the third consecutive term is the only one among the many PDP Guber aspirants from Ogun State to have picked the N14M nomination form at the party’s national secretariat, wadata plaza Abuja.
Speaking with Journalists shortly after he picked his forms, Akinlade said his party will defeat the incumbent because the people have lost trust in the administration.
” The PDP in Ogun State is now one united family and a house built on the rock with Prince Buruji Kashamu as the leader and I strongly believe that we will coast home to victory in the 2015 elections. The people are tired of insensitivity to their plight that this administration represents”, Akinlade said.
The PDP in the last few weeks has witnessed exodus of numerous bigwigs and party faithfuls into its fold from the All Progressive Congress and Labour Party including the former governor of the state Otunba Gbenga Daniel. Akinlade expressed optimism that this influx has positioned PDP as the party to beat in Ogun State.
” Our party is now ready to send this administration packing. An administration that has relegated the interests of the masses to the background with its anti people activities.
“The people have not witnessed this before, APC has done damage to the psyche of the people. But the good news is that this impunity will stop when PDP takes over the reign in the State and that’s why I am running for the office of the Governor. I want to turn things around for the good of our people with my manifesto tagged ” New Pact”, Akinlade concluded.
