and loyalty to Nigeria, the people have through their votes, exercised their
power to elect leaders and determine the course of our Nation for the next four
(4) years. Nigerians have let it be known that we are willing to put in the
work necessary to get Nigeria moving forward.
“The good people of Lagos Central Senatorial District have
once again elected me to represent them at the Upper Legislative Chamber. I am
humbled by the support and confidence reposed in the perspective I bring to the
Nigerian Senate. I am honoured to represent Lagos Central for another 4 years
and I remain dedicated to ensuring that our youth are sufficiently empowered,
that social security is a priority, and that the Nigeria of our dreams is
realised.
“Thus, I want to extend my gratitude to my family, members
of the Appreciation 2019 Campaign team, and volunteers who have served,
knocking on doors, going from market to market, shaking hands and mobilizing
the electorate to exercise their civic rights. It is time to get to work,
consolidating on the foundations we have put in place. It is time to address
the critical issues of infrastructure development, accessibility and
affordability of education, and increased employment among others.
“The victory of the APC in today’s elections is a victory
for our democracy and the protection of our commonwealth. Thus, I urge the
electorate to come out en masse again on Saturday 9th March, 2019 for the
Gubernatorial and State Houses of Assembly Elections.”
