Hon. Stephen Olukayode Ogundipe (OMOJ’OMOLO), the member of the Lagos State House of Assembly for Oshodi-Isolo Constituency-01, has saluted his supporters for backing leading to the APC primaries.
In a statement he personally signed and made available to the media, he said his desire to thank his supporters was borne out of their sustained support despite intimidation and how they turned up for the primaries.
He said; “My dear party faithfuls, leaders, supporters and the good people of Oshodi-Isolo Constituency-01,
“I write this message with deep emotions and profound gratitude to appreciate every one of you for your courage, resilience and unwavering support during the party primaries held today.
“Despite all forms of intimidation, coercion and desperation displayed by agents of progress who sought to impose their will and institutionalise political empire for personal control of our party structure in Oshodi, you all stood firm and defended the sanctity of democracy with your votes and your presence.
“Your overwhelming turnout today was not just a political statement, it was a bold declaration that the people of Oshodi can never be silenced, intimidated or bought over. You came out in large numbers to liberate our constituency and protect the collective future of our great party.
“The mandate freely given to us without inducement, harassment or manipulation shall never be taken for granted. I remain humbled by the trust, confidence and love you have shown towards me and our collective vision for a better Oshodi.
“To all our supporters across the wards, youths, women, elders and party stakeholders who sacrificed their time, energy and resources for this struggle, I say thank you from the depths of my heart. History will remember your bravery and commitment to justice, fairness and true party democracy.
“I also extend the hand of fellowship to all challengers and their supporters. I appeal that this is the time to sheathe our swords and unite as one family for the progress and victory of our great party at the general election.
“In this contest, there is no victor and no vanquished. We all win together as members of one indivisible political family.
“May Almighty God continue to strengthen and bless you all abundantly.”
