2023 Idanre/Ifedore Reps seat: PDP Aspirant, Akingbaso, Sure Of Victory At Primary


A leading aspirant, Hon. Festus Akingbaso, who is contesting the Idanre/Ifedore federal constituency seat on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has expressed confidence in emerging victorious at the party's primary coming up on Sunday. 

He told newsmen on Tuesday in Akure, the Ondo State capital while speaking on his preparation for the party's primary.

The current member of the state House of Assembly representing Idanre stated that he decided to vie for the higher elective position in order for him to facilitate projects that would impact on the people's lives.

He explained that he's familiar with needs of the constituency having served as a local government chairman and a legislator at the state House of Assembly.

Akingbaso, an industrialist, noted that the federal constituency has not experienced federal presence adequately like their its counterparts.

He said: "When it comes to my chances of getting the ticket, I believe that I don't have any problem. I have a very bright chance to emerge the winner at the primaries based on my antecedent. 

"With what I have been doing ever since I got to the Ondo State House of Assembly, I believe that will speak well for me. My constituents can as well testify to it and I'm not going to stop it there.

"During my tenure as Chairman of Idanre Local Government, they supported me enormously and now as legislator representing Idanre State Constituency. If I get to House of Representatives, definitely I will perform better.

"When I came in as member of House of Assembly through the opposition party, many did not expect that, as an opposition member, I will be able to do anything by bringing dividend of democracy to them but I performed to their admiration. So, if I have the opportunity now to move forward to the federal level, the two local governments in the federal constituency will benefit immensely."

The PDP House of representatives aspirant urged party's delegates to vote in line with the background of the aspirants for the benefit of the constituency.

He said: "The delegates should know who is who and do a background check in who they can entrust with the votes for the benefits of the entire constituency."
