2019: ‘Akoko indigenes should put their acts together’

A group, Akoko North APC Integrity Group (ANAIG) has urged the indigenes of the area to consider candidates with the interest of the communities at heart ahead of 2019 general elections.

The group particularly decried the present hardship on road situation in Akoko especially on Ose bridge along the ever- busy Abuja road and many others in the area.

Over 20 aspirants from Akoko zone are running  for the Senatorial and House of Representatives tickets ahead of 2019 polls.

A statement signed by the group’s chairman, Tito Babalola and Secretary, Chris Olorunfemi after its meeting noted that the quick intervention of both the federal and state governments would reduce the plights of the residents.

At the forum,members rallied support for an aspirant,Mike Adeyanju,an Engineer, who is vying for the ticket of Akoko Northeast/Northwest federal constituency in the House of Representatives in 2019 under the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

According to the statement,” This time around,we will choose an individual with capable pedigree to represent us at the National Assembly,we have not been enjoying the dividends of democracy in this axis as expected.

“Our choice, Adeyanju has good pedigree and passion to contribute meaningfully to the development of Akoko area,if given the mandate to become our representative at the lower chamber.

The group said they had put machinery in motion to mobilize support for the aspirant to emerge victorious after the primary and win eventually after the February 2019 polls.

It noted that only good representation at the National Assembly could facilitate visible developments to Akoko area,stressing that there was no visible infrastructural development in its four local government areas.

ANAIG urged the leadership of the ruling party in the state to shun imposition and allow those capable of delivering the good to the people to mount position of governance.

It assured the people of Akoko Northeast/Northwest of proactive representation with Adeyanju in the saddle as their representation at the National Assembly.
