\u201cWe are here to support our mother, leader, sister, and friend, Hon. Ramotalai Olanrewaju Akinlola-Hassan, who has consistently represented us well,\u201d he said. \u201cShe served successfully as Chairman of Oriade LCDA and as a former member of the Lagos State House of Assembly.

Hon. Olojede emphasised that her move to the federal level is a natural progression, given her experience and achievements in public service.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have tried several candidates since 2015, yet we have not had the representation we truly deserve.

We need someone we know\u2014someone with a proven capacity to deliver and who will stand firmly for the people and the party,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am deeply grateful for the turnout and the support shown towards my ambition to represent the good people of Amuwo-Odofin at the federal level,\u201d she said. \u201cI am for the people, and the people are for me. Without them, there is no me.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added that her decision to contest is driven by a desire to bring meaningful development to the constituency.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy mission is to deliver the dividends of democracy and ensure that our people feel the impact of effective representation,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
