Agege LGA Chairmanship hopeful
‘When everyone is allowed to play on a level playing surface, it ensures that the best man for the job gets the job’ is how the Agege LGA Chairmanship hopeful, Hon. Taiwo Olasunkanmi Samuel described the turn of events following the intervention of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR in the current scheme of things in Agege and other LGAs/LCDAs in Lagos.
Fondly called TOS, the Chairmanship aspirant under the All Progressives Congress (APC) fold in the upcoming July 12 elections wrote an open letter of commendation to the President for listening to the voices of the grassroots people.
The Convener of Agege Renewed Hope Movement, Hon. Taiwo highlighted: ‘I want to thank our President and Commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR for displaying his remarkable leadership to guide affairs at the grassroots. You did not abandon us since you are at the center. As you have always done, you provided direction and placed yourself on the right course of history.’
‘Your recent directive shows that you have a good grasp on the grassroots and the leadership of the party from top tier to the lowest rung. It shows that you are a leader who listens intently and intentionally to the yearnings of both leaders and followers.’
‘Your intervention in Agege LGA and grassroots politics effectively puts a stop to the imposition of candidates which dampens the confidence of other people who don’t know anybody, but as well desires to aspire to leadership positions across all tiers of government. It means their heads cannot be crushed by the powers-that-be. It gives them renewed hope for a bright future.’
‘Dear President, you are a true leader and a Democrat in words and deeds. Thank you for listening to our voices at the grassroots. Thank you for allowing us, your children, to have equal rights within the party. Thank you for enabling a level playing ground in this upcoming LGA/LCDA primary and general elections. We will make you proud’, Hon. TOS affirmed.
