Dr Ibrahim Yahaya Oloriegbe who is our member and other elected
Federal Lawmakers and State House of Assembly members, not only for
their deserving victory at the polls but for being magnanimous in

selfless and purposeful.
“The spirit of sportsmanship displayed by the Senate President,
Dr. Bukola Saraki, Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed and the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP’s) gubernatorial candidate, Bar. Razaq

sustainability of peace and security, which are the major
precursors for development.
“We must salute the courage and maturity of others who lost in
the various elections. Their astonishing emotional composure
despite suffering electoral misfortunes ensured that calm, peace
and orderliness prevailed across the entire state after INEC
declared the various election results.
“We must also remind elected officers that the tasks ahead are
enormous. Hence, they must be prepared to hit the ground running
after assuming office, come May 29. Their campaign promises are
articles of faith that should not be jettisoned. They must be
implemented to the later.
“Lastly, we wish to offer our sincere goodwill and pledge our
unalloyed support to the incoming administration in the state. As a
non-partisan group committed to the socio-economic growth of our
community, we shall not hesitate to offer our dispassionate,
