APC chieftain declares for Ogun assembly seat, vows to mobilize 500,000 votes

In a significant political development within Ogun State, Jamiu Ogundele, a prominent figure and Coordinator of the City Boy Movement in Imeko-Afon, has officially declared his ambition to represent his constituents in the State House of Assembly. This declaration is not merely a personal aspiration but a strategic move signaling a strong commitment to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its leadership.

“

My decision to vie for the State Assembly is driven by a deep desire to serve my people and ensure their voices are heard at the legislative level. It is time for representation that truly reflects the needs and aspirations of our communities.

Ogundele's pledge to mobilize a staggering 500,000 votes for President Bola Tinubu and the APC's consensus governorship candidate is a bold statement of intent. It underscores the critical role of grassroots mobilization, particularly among the youth, in Nigeria's electoral landscape. By leveraging his position within the City Boy Movement, Ogundele aims to harness the energy and potential of young voters, a demographic increasingly recognized as a powerful force in shaping election outcomes.

“

With the current momentum and expected rise in voter registration, delivering 500,000 votes for our candidates is achievable.

His confidence is rooted in demographic realities. Citing data from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Ogundele highlights Ogun State's substantial registered voter base, with a significant concentration in the Ogun West region. This data-informed optimism suggests a well-thought-out strategy to translate voter potential into tangible electoral support for the APC, especially as voter registration continues.

“

We must ensure governance is closer to the people. I will champion policies that promote education, economic opportunities and sustainable development across Imeko-Afon.

From the perspective of APC faithful in Ogun State, Ogundele's declaration is a welcome sign of proactive engagement and commitment. His emphasis on purposeful representation and amplifying the voices of his constituents aligns with the party's broader goals. The enthusiastic reception at the stakeholders' meeting, attended by youth leaders and traditional rulers, further reinforces the belief that Ogundele possesses the insight and drive to deliver effective leadership. His candidacy is seen as an opportunity to ensure governance remains close to the people and to champion policies that foster education, economic growth, and sustainable development in Imeko-Afon, reflecting a local perspective on progress and representation.

“

Youths are the backbone of the democratic process, assuring that they would mobilise massively in support of the APC candidates in the forthcoming elections.
