‘Politics not for wealthy people alone’

A Chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Ondo state, Gbenga Fapohunda said politics should be for all and sundry and not for few influential people in the society.

Besides, he said the 2019 general elections should allow Nigerians the opportunity to pick their choice.

Fapohunda spoke with reporters at the weekend shortly after declaring his intention to run the House of Representatives race at the lower chamber for Idanre/Ifedore federal constituency.

He said “there would be a change in the manner people practice politics in the country which has promoted corruption to a higher pedestal.

According to him, “I am contesting under the platform of ADC as a new party,and not old party in a new bottle.ADC is populated by people of high integrity. It is a credible alternative political party in Nigeria that can move the nation forward”.

He expressed optimism that he would win the House of Representatives because he would be there to serve and not to make money.

Fapohunda however advised the electorate not to sell their conscience,stressing that they should stand by their votes in the forthcoming general elections.

He urged the people of Ilara-mokin,his home town to support his aspiration for the upliftment of the constituency.
