A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Ogun State, Engr Muritala Salau Audu in a congratulatory message to the party’s President-elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu on his victory at the poll has charged political stakeholders in the state to help pave way for greater development by ensuring Governor Dapo Abiodun’s re emergence in the March 11 guber poll.
Engr Muritala made the call while galvanizing the electorate support base for Governor Dapo Abiodun’s second term bid, describing him as a performer whose class towers far above other contenders in the race ahead of the March 11 2023 general election.
“The last Presidential election was keenly contested for, with major contenders requiring profound prowess to others to be pronounced the President-elect by INEC. I congratulate Asiwaju Tinubu and urge Nigerians to unite to secure our growth and development as a nation.”
Engr. Muritala maintained this stance in a statement issued recently, highlighting many great developments the Governor’s second term bid when granted will attract to the state.
“When it comes to governor of Ogun state, and all states representatives across the state, the present occupier of the Oke mosan is by all standard a performer.
“A governor who within a short stint has turned the tide of Ogun State for good. Prince Dapo Abiodun has virtually delivered on many of his electoral promises,” Muritala said.
In his view, a second term for Governor Dapo Abiodun will translate to good political fortunes for the state most especially now that we have a Yoruba man as the president of the federal republic of Nigeria, as he is likely to as a ranking governor be imbued with the required clout to influence greater development to the state.
“A governor can only become so powerful in the FEC/State and earn influential and decisive Federal projects to the state only if he is a second term governor.
“Only top-performing governors get to feature in office for second term.
“A powerful position can only be given to a ranking governor not a rookie.
“This is one of the cogent reasons why the Ogun state electorate should vote for Prince Dapo Abiodun for second term in other to become a ranking governor.
“This will place him at the vintage position to earn a powerful position like chairman of governor’s Forum or Chairman of APC Governors forum that will in turn help to attract developments to Ogun state.
Engr. Muritala also reminded APC party faithful that Prince Dapo Abiodun has paid his dues in the party and did everything to nurture (when the party was at infancy stage) and protect the party.
“A dedicated and committed party leader like Dapo Abiodun who has made us proud in every aspect of governance should be rallied around and elected at the Saturday 11th March gubernatorial election .”
The APC Chieftain however, urged party leaders whom the Governor might have at one point or the other offended not wilfully but in the course of duty, to forgive and close rank with him for the obvious coming good not to suffer a hitch.
“I see victory at the end of the tunnel come 11th February 2023 with Prince Dapo Abiodun on the ballot for Ogun State,” Engr Muritala .
He added that other representatives of the State Assembly, who had equally proved their mettle should enjoy revalidation of the mandate to up their games for the benefits of all.
