Member representing Oshodi-Isolo-01, at the Lagos State House of Assembly, Stephan Ogundipe, has expressed gratitude to all members of the APC and his supporters for their overwhelming support for his candidacy at the primary election.
Ogundipe,
a first-time lawmaker, who is seeking another term, made this appreciation to
his supporters at the APC House of Assembly Primary election in
Oshodi-Isolo constituency-01 in Lagos.
Ogundipe,
who is the Chairman, House Committee on Information, said the mandate freely
given to them without inducement, harassment or manipulation shall never be
taken for granted.
The
incumbent lawmaker said that he remained humbled by the trust, confidence and
love they had shown towards him and their collective vision for a better
Oshodi.
He
said: “My dear party faithfuls, leaders, supporters and the good people of
Oshodi-Isolo Constituency-01.
“I
write this message with deep emotions and profound gratitude to appreciate
every one of you for your courage, resilience and unwavering support during the
party primaries held today (Wednesday)
“Despite
all forms of intimidation, coercion and desperation displayed by those who
sought to impose their will and institutionalise political empire for personal
control of our party structure in Oshodi.
“You
all stood firm and defended the sanctity of democracy with your votes and your
presence. Your overwhelming turnout today was not just a political statement;
it was a bold declaration that the people of Oshodi can never be silenced,
intimidated or bought over.
“You
came out in large numbers to liberate our constituency and protect the
collective future of our great party.
“To
all our supporters across the wards, youths, women, elders and party
stakeholders who sacrificed their time, energy and resources for this struggle,
I say thank you from the depths of my heart.
“History
will remember your bravery and commitment to justice, fairness and true party
democracy.”
Ogundipe
also extended a hand of fellowship to all challengers and their supporters,
appealing that this was the time to sheathe their swords and unite as one
family for the progress and victory of the great party at the general election.
According
to him, “In this contest, there is no victor and no vanquished. We all win
together as members of one indivisible political family.
May
Almighty God continue to strengthen and bless you all abundantly.”
One of
the voters, Mr Olutomi Ipaye, said the large turnout reflected the lawmaker’s
performance and impact within the constituency over the years.
“It
tells you what Hon. Ogundipe has done in the past years. Most of the people
here see this as a payback time for him,” he said.
According
to him, the lawmaker’s projects and interventions could be felt across
communities within the constituency.
“There
is no community within this constituency where you will not see the footprint
of Hon. Yishawu. People came out because they appreciate what he has done,” he
added.
Another
member, Mr Jimoh Aliu, also described the crowd as “organic,” insisting that
members turned out voluntarily because of the lawmaker’s achievements in the
constituency.”
