The Distinguished Lawmaker representing Ogun West Senatorial District, Senator Dr Solomon Olamilekan Adeola Yayi, has said that his attention has been drawn to recent statements and opinions, particularly on the social media, arising from declarations by some respected Ogun State citizens to run for governorship in Ogun State in the next general election.
While appealing to his teeming supporters, Aremo Adeola, the Chairman of Senate Committee of Appropriations said, “I have noted that many of my supporters who want me to run have been taking positions and made detestable statements against some aspirants in our party, All Progressives Congress, APC”.
“For the record, I have not made any official statement regarding any aspirant’s aspiration or responded to the unprovoked media attacks on my person and my political career of service to the people. I have also not authorized any of my relevant staff to respond against such utterances against me in recent times.”
“I am presently focused on serving my constituents in Ogun West Senatorial District, Ogun State and indeed, Nigeria. It is not in my character to derogate, demean or ridicule any of my fellow party members on the basis of their genuine aspirations. In view of this, I want to appeal to all my teeming supporters, well-wishers and loyalists to desist from attacking the person or ideals of any aspirant, ostensibly in my defense or support.”
“This appeal is pursuant of a rancor free process for all the upcoming activities of our party, APC, as we progress towards the general elections. I passionately appeal to all my supporters and party members to always bear in mind that we are all members of a great political family and we must eschew bitterness and rancor in our relationship. While I greatly appreciate the genuine love and support for me by my supporters, I urge restrain and caution in the days ahead.”
“I urge all my supporters and loyalists not to be distracted and remained focus with eyes on the ball and the goal we have envisioned for our state for over a decade. Going forward, let us continue to showcase the work that have been done by my humble self, the governor of our state, Prince Dapo Abiodun, CON and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, under the Renewed Hope Agenda as we move toward party primaries and general elections in less than a year’s time.”
“Our focus should be on continuity of the ongoing reforms of our great party, APC at both the state and national level and not on any unproductive internal bickering.”
