I won’t take your support for granted ― Olajide

THE member-elect for Ibadan Southwest/Northwest federal constituency, Adedeji Olajide, has expressed his appreciation to the people of the federal constituency for standing with him during the last Saturday election.

He has however promised not to disappoint the people of the constituency.

Adedeji in a statement by his media office on Monday said he was ready to translate his promises during the electioneering campaigns to action by ensuring the development of the area.

According to him, the results of the election had shown that the people wanted a new lease of life, saying this made them vote for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

He, however, said that the people of Ibadan northwest and southwest local government areas would start to experience qualitative and unparalleled representation when he assumes office as their representative from May this year.
