While appreciating the party elders, stakeholders and members for their staunch support during the party’s primaries, Hon. Abdulrasheed Femi Yusuf, pledged to repay the trust reposed in him, by ensuring that he delivers on all his campaign promises.

He said “I still remember with nostalgia how Agriculture and commerce used to be the major occupation of majority of our people, yet they prospered and contributed their hard-earned resources to develop their communities. We were able to self develop most our communities, yet our LG was the envy of its peers.

“I can say it anywhere that I am a product of Agriculture. The money used to train me was derived from Agriculture and Commerce, therefore I’ll bring about Agricultural revolution in Ifelodun, if elected.

“I am religiously loyal to restoring economic activities of the local government in all ramifications. Thus, i’ll be solely focused on projects and programmes that’ll help rejig the local economy, for optimum productivity.

“We want to ensure the main occupation of majority of our people, which is Agriculture, is prioritised and relied on to bring back life to our lost economic height.

“Our LG is tremendously blessed, we’ll tap every available resources, both human and material resources to achieve our desires of a renewed Ifelodun.

“One of the major bane that can bring to nothing all our investments in Agriculture, is the scourge of insecurity, the Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq administration has done tremendously well in tackling the scourge.

“We will ensure we build on those achievements, partner all relevant stakeholders towards ensuring that we collectively find a lasting solution to the scourge and banish insecurity from our LG.

The Asiwaju of Babanloma, Sen. Makanjuola Ajadi who led the campaign train round the District, assured the candidate and the campaign entourage, that the entirety of Share District are solidly behind his candidacy, adding that he should be less disturbed about the election’s results, rather he should be focused on how to deliver on his lofty campaign promises.

“Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq has done tremendously well for us in Share District, our sons and daughters are occupying prominent positions in the State and Federal, the only way to repay the trust in us, is to massively vote for the party” he added

The Hon. Representing Omupo Constituency, Hon. A.G.F Salahudeen expressed satisfaction with the level of turnout, stressing that with what he’s seen in Share District, he’s reassured that truly, the party is not only ready for the September 21st elections, rather the LG is geared towards delivering the highest vote return in the whole State.
