*I will perform like Sen.Adeola Yayi if I’m elected as Senator in Ogun West

 

Hon. Aina Akinpelu made it known to Ogun West People that he will perform like Senator Olamilekan Adeola Yayi, if the people of Ogun West give him opportunity to serve them as a senator representing Ogun West in 2027 election. Hence tagging his Campaign Slogan as Like *Yayi Like Legacy, Like Yayi Like Legacy*!

Aina said ” we need someone that can work for us like Senator Adeola, if we want his good work to continue in Ogun West”.

That is one of the reasons why I’m contesting for the senatorial seat for our incubent senators good work to continue.

“What I did then as a State Legislator when I served my People at Ado Odo/Ọta 1 Constituency is the example of what I will do if I give opportunity to represent Ogun West at the Federal Level

Honorable Aina says,
Just like Distinguished Senator Adeola Yayi, I facilitated numerous “legacy projects” across my Constituency. I also personally funded people-oriented projects aimed at improving the daily lives of my people.

These visible achievements, delivered during my time as Member Ogun State House of Assembly from 2011–2019, are still standing strong across Ota State Constituency 1 till today.

As a grassroots politician who understands how to attract development and influence decisions in favour of his people, I’m fully prepared to take that same quality representation to Ogun West Senatorial District.

As progressive APC members in Ogun West, the time has come to rally behind a candidate who can sustain the standard and performance Distinguished Senator Adeola Yayi has brought to our district. Which is me, says – *Hon. Aina Akinpelu.*
