Solomon Adeola a.k.a Yayi, the senator representing Lagos west, broke down in tears after receiving a nomination form of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to contest for Ogun west senatorial seat.
Adeola who has transferred his voting right and the All Progressives Congress (APC) membership from Lagos to Ogun State, as part of his ambition to run for Senate of Ogun West, was presented the senatorial expression of interest and nomination forms at his hometown in Ilaro, by some APC leaders from Yewa under the auspices of West to West for Dapo Abiodun (W2W4DA) on Wednesday May 4.
Chief Mufutau Ajibola, a member of the Governor Elders Forum who presented the form to the Senator on behalf of the group noted that the forms were purchased with contribution from members of the group and sympathizers. Ajibola said the fund was contributed by 71 people within 48 hours.
He also disclosed that most of them were civil servants, professionals in the private sector, business men, community leaders and Ogun West indigenes in diaspora.
Ajibola said;
“A total of 71 people across the length and breadth of Ogun West, most of them here present cutting across public servants, professionals in the private sector, business men, community leaders and Ogun West indigenes in diaspora voluntarily donated to fund the procurement of the forms raising the needed amount under 48 hours between 3pm on Monday 18th and Wednesday 20th 2022.
“Just as we had young people in their 30s contributing, we also had elders in the 80s putting their hard-earned money into this project. This is an unprecedented feat signifying a new trajectory of collectivity and brotherhood in Ogun West Senatorial district.”
