An aspirant for the Osun West senatorial ticket on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Waliyulai Adebayo Oladosu, has explained that he was in the race to offer quality representation to his people at the National Assembly.

Also, Oladosu, who's popularly referred to as Rovet, expressed the optimism that the party's gubernatorial candidate, Alhaji Bola Oyebamiji(AMBO), would emerge victorious at the polls, assuring as well that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu would be reelected as President of the country in 2027.

In a statement released by his Media Office, the Iwo-born politician, while appealing to APC leaders, stakeholders and members to ensure his emergence as the senatorial candidate of the party, maintained that his candidature would attract more votes to the party in the upcoming elections.

"To replicate the wonderful job of President Bola Tinubu, I am assuring that if I am given the APC Osun West senatorial ticket, we shall win. This will offer me the ample opportunity of further serving our people who have been yearning for good and quality representation all this while," he stressed.

According to him, as an individual familiar with the needs of the people and the areas in the senatorial district, he would readily apply his knowledge, exposure and connections to attract the needed attention from the Federal Government and corporate bodies to mitigate the challenges being faced by them.

While calling for massive support for APC at the coming elections later this year and in 2027, Alhaji Oladosu promised a direct link with the people at the grassroots who have always been left out in the scheme of things.

"I can assure you that my presence at the National Assembly will largely factor in the interest of our people at the grassroots, who always give so much but get little in return. Above all, if given the opportunity as from next year, by the grace of God, my voice in the hallowed chamber will be for the betterment of the senatorial district and the state," he added.

Oladosu, who is currently holding consultations across the ten local governments in the senatorial district, urged party members not to rest on their oars in their mobilisation quest so as to ease the success of APC at the polls.

While calling for a unity of purpose among the party members across the state, he implored the people to always be peaceful and law-abiding in order to achieve the envisaged progress in society.
