A Social Democratic Party (SDP) aspirant for AMAC/Bwari federal constituency in the FCT, Taiyelolu Ojo, has continued his consultation in the Dutse ward of Bwari area council, urging the electorate to vote out the candidates of the big parties namely All Progressives Congress (APC) and the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
Hon Ojo while welcoming his mobilisers to the ward on Sunday, alleged that the PDP and APC were parties for money bags.
He said the parties were made big because they have been in office, adding that any party that has been in office would automatically become big also going by the style of Nigeria’s politicking.
Ojo stated that the chances of getting tickets in the big parties were determined by ones with huge pockets noting that “some of us that have decided to keep our hands straight and clean will never have the chance of clinching tickets in the big parties because we don’t want to be a crowd member.
‘The House of Reps hopeful appealed to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to look into the role of money in politics in Nigeria with a view to stemming the negative trend.
“As far as money as money is playing this role, Nigeria may never have the credible leadership it is looking for because the source of money for many of these people are questionable.”
Hon Ojo said the visit was part of the tour to all the zones in the AMAC /Bwari federal constituency.
“We have gone to zone A comprising Asokoro, Garki and Durumi and Apo. We have gone to zone B in Garki comprising the city centre and the likes and we are going to zone C.
“This is our first visit to Bwari to intimate the electorate about our aspiration and to let them know what we have in stock for them and even to mobilise more membership to our party because of our aspiration and I’m sure some of our friends and well wishers are ready,” he said.
He said the youth population in the constituency have not been adequately tapped, pointing out that there was nothing the executive could do to this effect without appropriate legislations.
At a meeting in Dutse ward, the Director General of the Campaign, Seyi Arowosebe, stated that there was need to propagate candidacy of Hon Ojo to enable him stand for the primaries and eventually win at the general elections next year.
