By Daud Olatunji
ABEOKUTA—The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, governorship candidate in Ogun State, Gboyega Isiaka, has urged the nine legislators who were elected on the party’s platform not to entertain bills that seek to promote selfish agenda.
Isiaka, who spoke in the presence of the party chairman in the state, Adebayo Dayo, maintained that bills considered as anti-people and aimed at promoting personal interests must be blocked.
He spoke at the PDP state secretariat in Abeokuta while hosting the nine members of the state House of Assembly.
The PDP lawmakers include; Wale Alausa, Jemili Akingbade, Bowale Solaja, Oyenuga Olufowobi, Jimi Otukoya, Adebowale Ojo, Sesan Soyebo, Rasaq Oduntan and Folakemi Akintayo.
According to Isiaka, the PDP legislators as opposition party members should always promote issues that border on the welfare of the people.
He said, “This opportunity to serve your constituencies is a call to service. You must see yourselves as eyes and ears of the people to better their lot. Any bill that seeks to promote the interest and wellbeing of our people should be wholeheartedly supported by all.
“But if it is not, if it is to promote personal agenda or personal interest, I think that will not be in our interest and I want to enjoin you to do what is necessary for that.“
Earlier in his address, the PDP state chairman, Chief Adebayo Dayo, urged the lawmakers and the generality of party members to remain loyal to the party. He assured party members that the PDP would reclaim its governorship
