Councillorship Aspirant of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Ward 08, Ibadan South East Local Government, Comrade Rasheed Akinlayo Gbadamosi, popularly known as Omogbadamosi, extends his heartfelt congratulations to the Honourable Representative of Ibadan South East/North East Federal Constituency, Hon. Abass Adekunle Adigun Agboworin, for his well-deserved victory at the National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal on Monday, October 23, 2023.
Omogbadamosi’s reaction to the tribunal judgment, which affirmed Agboworin’s victory in the February 25th and April Re-run Election in Oyo State, reflects his genuine admiration for Hon. Adigun Agboworin’s accomplishments. Despite the intimidation, harassment, and violence unleashed on Agboworin’s numerous supporters by opposition elements during the campaign and at the polls, he emerged victorious.
The tribunal’s dismissal of the petition filed by Hon. Dapo Lam Adesina of the APC, which they stated “not only failed, but also irredeemably failed” to prove allegations of over-voting and substantial non-compliance with the Electoral Act, further solidifies the legitimacy of Agboworin’s election.
The National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal’s decision, affirming your electoral victory, demonstrates that your election was indeed a true reflection of the wishes of the people in Ibadan South East/North East Federal Constituency. Your clean, peaceful, and issues-based campaign made you the most popular and qualified candidate, and you truly deserved your victory, as Omogbadamosi emphasized.
As a fellow constituent, Omogbadamosi appeals to Hon. Agboworin to extend his hand to other candidates who contested against him and to be a messenger for all, fostering unity and collaboration at both the local government and ward levels. He recognizes the need for development and the dividends of democracy for the people in Ibadan South East/North East and urges Agboworin to continue the positive work he has begun in his first term.
In conclusion, Omogbadamosi congratulates PDP leaders and stakeholders, including PDP Deputy National Chairman South, His Excellency Amb. Arapaja Oladejo Taofeek, Leader Dare Adeleke, Ex-Aide to Governor Makinde, Hon. Akeem Ademola (Ige Again), Ibadan South East Executive Chairman, Hon. Alawode Emmanuel, and Oyo State House of Assembly Members, Hon. Omikunle and Hon. Opeyemi Akande Modiu, for this victory.
