Ahead of
2019 general elections, thirty Political Parties under the auspice of
Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP), Ogun State chapter have
declared their support for Rt. Hon Titilayo Oseni-Gomez as the Ogun Central
Senatorial District in the coming general election slated to hold tomorrow,
Saturday.
According
to information reaching our reporter, CNPP in a meeting held last Thursday in
Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital said it has adopted the African Democratic
Party, ADC candidate in line with her good deeds in the past.
The group
acting secretary, Hon Akinyele Sarafadeen Ogunwoolu who speaks with our
reporter shortly after the meeting said Hon Titilayo Oseni-Gomez is the only
credible candidate for the position, which is why the group adopted her.
Honourable
Ogunwoolu who is also one of the strongest stakeholders in Ogun Politics, said
there is serious and urgent need to appoint women to the position this time
around to avoid gender inequality.
He also
mandated all other political parties to rally round and support Hon Titilayo
Oseni-Gomez in tomorrow, Saturday general elections.
Also, on
his own part, the Public Relations Officer of the group, Hon Segun Matthew said
the group believes so much in Hon Oseni-Gomez, because while serving as the
speaker of the state in the previous dispensation, he empowered so many people.
The PRO
also stated that the former speaker used her influence to help many youths to
gain employment to different government parastatals in the state.
He
therefore call on other parties to give strong support for her if they really
want change, and that women must be given the opportunity this time around.
Hon Matthew
also called on INEC not to be biased in the coming elections, to allow clean
and credible elections, and to make peace reign.
He called
on the four Commissioners of police assigned to the state to protect the
people's right and also security of lives and properties should be guaranteed.
He
therefore called on the new CP appointed to Ogun Central, CP Gbenga Adeyanju to
keep watch on all miscreants who are ready to truncate the process of the
election, and such incident that happened in the presence of the President last
Monday will not repeat itself again.
