The Chairman of the House of Representatives
Committee on Science and Technology, Mr. Biodun Akinlade, has explained
the victory of the Ogun State Action Congress of Nigeria in the just
concluded elections in the state.
Akinlade, who gave the explanation in a telephone interview with our correspondent in Abuja, said the electorate in the state voted for the ACN because of the poor performance of the Peoples Democratic Party government in the state.
The committee chairman, who won the April 26 rescheduled House of Representatives poll on the ACN platform, said his constituency recognised his contributions to the area.
Akinlade, who contested the state Deputy Governor, Alhaja Salmot Badru of the Peoples Party of Nigeria and four other candidadates, stated that he would focus on employment generation and development of Yewa South/Ipokia Federal Constituency.
The House of Representatives member said the defeat of the PDP in the South-West was a reflection of the desire of the people for a change.
He stated, “The ACN won because of the performance of the PDP in the South-West. The people of the zone are very sophisticated people. They are dissatisfied with the performance of the PDP, hence their desire for change, which the ACN represents.”
