A three-time member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Abiodun Akinlade, on Tuesday, presented a letter of intent to contest for Ogun West Senatorial seat in the 2023 general elections.
The ex-lawmaker, who represented Yewa South / Ipokia Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, at the ceremony held at Oronna Hall, Ilaro, said his cognate experience as a former lawmaker was well enough for the people of the district to support him.
Akinlade who is currently a member of the Federal Character Commission (FCC), said his aspiration to represent the district is to further bring about more dividends of democracy to the people.
He noted that no fewer than 750 graduates got federal government employment through him while serving as a lawmaker, adding he had always exhibited a high degree of responsibility, courage, honesty, passion and hard work.
“With my experience as a ranking member of the parliament, will give me opportunities and advantages at the Senate to bring more dividends on democracy to Ogun West.
“You are aware of what I have done and I am still doing in order to impact positively on the lives of my people.
“I facilitated the establishment of a Science Park housing four Federal Government agencies, located in Owode Yewa.
“I have done a lot of empowerment for women, youths and have continued to support the growth of the educational sector which I promise to continue.
“All of these gestures were designed to change the lives of the people of my constituency and others positively,” he said.
He pledged to continue to provide basic needs and infrastructure in order to improve the standard of living of the people of the Ogun West constituency.
Akinlade solicited support, counsel, prayers and votes to enable him to represent the people of Ogun West in the Senate.
