The All Progressives Congress spokesperson in Lagos, Seye Oladejo, has declared his intention to contest the Mushin II Federal Constituency seat in the House of Representatives.

Mr Oladejo made this known on Saturday before APC members, market leaders, artisans, friends and associates at the Archbishop Aggey Memorial School, Ilasamaja, Mushin, Lagos.

The former Commissioner for Special Duties and Inter-governmental Relations in the state said his passion for public service and the need for qualitative service delivery to people were behind his ambition.

Mr Oladejo, who is also a former Secretary and ex-Chairman of Mushin LGA, promised qualitative, discerning, visible and result-oriented representation, if elected.

“As a man who is passionate about public service, I am inspired by the courage and achievements of all the leaders who have charted the path of development for Mushin II Federal Constituency.

“I have decided to challenge myself on what to do for my constituency, the state and the country.

“For over two decades, I have proved beyond reasonable doubt that I am someone to be trusted with public office. I have shown accountability and transparency in service at local and state levels,” he said.

The aspirant said that he believed the time was ripe for him to “yield to the clarion call of my constituents to represent Mushin II Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives come 2023.

“I will also leverage on the experience of the best hands in Mushin II Federal Constituency to provide the desired representation in every sense of the word to my constituents,” he said.

He promised to ensure that the federal government recognised the 37 Local Council Development Areas in the state.
