A Chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, (ADC), in Oyo state, TPL Samuel Adesokan has called on the governor of the state, Engr. Seyi Makinde to accommodate other members that formed the coalition which produced him.
Adesokan, who was an aspirant of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, in Ibarapa East local government,expressed worry that no member of the party from the local government made the list of appointments recently made by the governor. He urged Governor Makinde to spread his appointments and the benefit of his governance to all nook and crannies of the state without sidelining any party.
Adesokan, who is also the first Vice Chairman of the National Institute of Town Planners, in the state made this call on Thursday at the sideline of the 50th Edition of the institute conference in Ibadan, the Oyo state capital
He noted further that members of the African Democratic Congress in the Ibarapa East local government have not been considered for any substantial position in respect to the share ratio for the political coalition between the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) African Democratic Congress (ADC)/and two other parties in the 2019 general election.
“For now, we have not really seen the benefit of the political party coalition in our constituency, but since the offices are not fully occupied yet, other things can still come in, which we believe our leaders are really working on.
“Ibarapa East deserves more than what we have on ground, and we are expecting more, probably at the forthcoming local government election In Oyo state, we believe our governor is a man of his word, and will fulfill all his promises”. he said.
The Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) formed a coalition agreement with the African Democratic Congress,(ADC), Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) and the Social Democratic Party (SDP) to defeat the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2019 gubernatorial election in the state.
He advised the lawmaker representing Ibarapa East state constituency who doubles as the speaker of the House, Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin to meet and identify with other aspirants in the constituency to share ideas on ways to develop the zone.
The Lanlate born politician, Adesokan, was one of the ten aspirants that stepped down in a consensus agreement with Hon. Mark Olumuyiwa who later contested to represent the Ibarapa East state constituency in the Oyo State House of Assembly but lost to the current Speaker of the House.
