Amosun’s Ambition: Obadara Suspends Ogun Central Senatorial Campaign

Ololade Adeyanju/

 

The Chairman of Lucinda Media Limited (Owners of Sweet 107.1FM) has suspended his campaign for the Ogun Central Senatorial Seat following the declaration of the aspiration of the Ogun State Governor for the same seat.

The Senator who was the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Privatization and Commercialization informed NewsmakersNG today in a statement:

Here is the statement in full:

“Good morning my good people.

I do appreciate everybody for the support and concern on this journey for me to return to the Senate of the Federal Republic Nigeria in 2019 for our Senatorial District under our great party APC.

As you are aware, I put out a caveat when I came out to contest “That upon the decision of the Governor of the State to come out to contest for the same Senate Seat, I will step down immediately”.

Life goes with integrity and any human being that fails integrity text in any way loses the value to be counted worthy. I so much appreciate your concern and dedication to my return to the Senate to continue with my good job of attracting more developmental projects to the Senatorial as I did when I was there between 2011-2015 with 133 life touching projects and another 6 thereafter.

I hereby with all humility announce to everyone that at this time I will discontinue my campaign and interest while we watch as the event unfolds in fulfilment of my pledge. Thank you for everything as I believe and assure my supporters across Ogun Senatorial District, the State and Nation that I remain available for anything that will contribute to the development of The Egbas throughout my life and indeed to all Nigerians.

Thank you ALL for the opportunity to create me a SENATOR for life. Modupe gidigidi gaan ni oooooo. SENATOR OBADARA.”
