The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) 2027 governorship aspirant, Aare Olayinka Segelu, has congratulated House of Representatives member-elect in Ibadan North Federal Constituency, Hon. Folajimi Oyekunle, in his electoral victory at Saturday, August 16 bye-election.
Oyekunle defeated his closest rival, Hon. Adewale Olatunji Murphy of the All Progressives Congress (APC), and four other contenders.
Reacting to the outcome, Segelu, who is also a Germany-based businessman, commended Governor Seyi Makinde for his leadership and strategic role in the PDP’s victory.
“I want to commend the effort of our leader, Governor Oluwaseyi Makinde. He took the best decision, and the outcome of the election has clearly shown the strength of our party. We won with a margin of over 10,000 votes, and that is a significant achievement. I truly commend his leadership, which continues to prove his worth and gives us something to look forward to,” he said.
Segelu also congratulated Oyekunle, expressing confidence in his capacity to deliver on his electioneering promises to the people of the constituency.
“To the member-elect, Folajimi Oyekunle, I say congratulations. He is not new in the system, and I believe he will do his best to sustain the victory we are celebrating today,” he added.
The PDP stalwart equally applauded the constituents of Ibadan North, acknowledging their determination to elect a true representative.
“They have demonstrated their capacity and made it clear that they desire true representation. They have voted for their choice, DoN, who has now been declared the winner. Let us all hope and work together to ensure that the people enjoy the true dividends of democracy,” Segelu stated.
