All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain Moses Olarewaju (MO) has unveiled his ambition to represent Amuwo-Odofin Constituency in the House of Representatives.

He says he has been adopted by stakeholders, including party leaders, religious and community leaders, women and youths.

At a news conference in Lagos, he said: “I want to be your humble servant. I want to go to Abuja. I want to give you what is due to you. I am not looking for office to get money so I can build houses on Banana Island. I want Amuwo-Odofin to become Banana Island.”

The aspirant thanked stakeholders from Amuwo-Odofin and Oriade councils, who have endorsed his bid for the House of Representatives.

Olarewaju, a graduate of University of Jos, and a businessman, said having been born and lived in Amuwo-Odofin, he understood its challenges of development. 

He recalled the congestion at the ports, which spilled over to Amuwo-Odofin through the menace of parked trailers and containers, crippling business activities in Amuwo-Odofin, including hotels, markets and even the trade fairs.

He lamented the incidence of capsized boats that led to loss of lives and the awful infrastructural picture of FESTAC Town.

The aspirant recalled that FESTAC Town was at a point more popular than Ikoyi and Victoria Island, adding that its glory should be restored.
