By Edith Igbokwe

A chairmanship aspirant in Oshodi-Isolo Local Government, Abiodun Ogundimu, said he has not withdrawn from the contest, saying he is sure of success.

He said though he has not held a political post either elected or appointed before, he has what it takes to control the affairs of the local government.

Ogundimu disclosed that he was called to join the race to make Oshodi-Isolo LGA better.

According to him, he supported the All Progressive Congress (APC) politicians in their campaign and provided social amenities to the community as an effort to give back to the community where he grew up.

Ogundimu traced his support for the party during the 2019 polls when he supported the election of our two representatives in the Federal House, Dr. Bashiru Dawodu and State House Assembly, Hon. Hakeem Shokunle with polo shirts, caps and other materials during their campaigns.

“In my community, I provided four boreholes, two in my ward – Mafoluku, one each in Ewu and Shogunle and I provided standby generators to power the water source so that scarcity of water will become a forgotten issue in Oshodi environment.

He said he also installed street cables for electricity supply in the community adding that he was happy that the two and half years of struggle towards my ambition are becoming fruitful.

“The contest has commenced and I am part of the aspirants. If I withdraw, a lot of people would be disappointed in me. I have obtained the nomination form and I’m ready for the election.”

Ogundimu stated that he is contesting to affect more lives positively, saying “I don’t feel happy seeing people in poverty, it moves me to do something to change their lives for good.”
