In the spirit of not too young to rule, a Youth organisation, Osun Central Progressive Youth Front has clamoured for the candidacy of Dr. Ajibola Bashiru for the Osun Central Senator ticket on the platform of the All Progressives Congress.
Bashiru is the current Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice in the administration of Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola.
Addressing newsmen in Osogbo Thursday, the Convener, Comrade Ebby Olusegun Ige noted that having reviewed the State of the nation especially in the area of legislation, they have come to the conclusion that effective legislation is critical to the sustenance and stability of our democracy and the development of our Nation.
“The current political trend dictates that the National assembly should be peopled by Sincere, honest, vibrant, articulate, people centered personalities.
“Situations in which the National Assembly closes down for months as an escape strategy to prevent engagement with real issues is the height of irresponsibility in the hallowed chambers. Nigeria cannot afford to recycle the same set of lawmakers or people without pedigree and expect a good result.
“We have observed political activities in Osun Central Senatorial District with keen interest. Over the years, Osun Central Senatorial District has been blessed with vibrant, active and articulate senators from the progressive trend. Senator Bayo Salami was actively involved in key legislations which contribute in no small measure to the successes recorded in the history of the past republic.
“One cannot forget in a hurry, the commendable roles played by the current senator Prof. Adeyeye in bringing down the ignoble third term bid of President Olusegun Obasanjo and his loyalty and commitment to the cause of the progressive block in Nigeria.
“After an intensive research across the length and breadth of the senatorial District, Ajibola Bashiru emerged as the only credible option for us as youths who are critical stakeholders in the future of our Senatorial District for the following reasons:
“Ajibola Bashiru has been the only candidate from the central that worked beyond mere posting and pasting of posters. He has a clear agenda which is well articulated in his pact with the people of the senatorial District. This portrays him as the most committed aspirant to party ideals and the most prepared for the job.
“Ajibola Bashiru has practically demonstrated his passion for inclusiveness of the marginalized strata of the society as evident by been the driving force of youth inclusion in governance structures across and beyond the senatorial District.
“Ajibola Bashiru has been a staunch advocate for Social and economic justice for the downtrodden as evidenced by his empathetic and philanthropic gestures.
“Ajibola Bashiru amongst others is the most popular candidate for the office been the most loved by the majority his constituents.
“Ajibola Bashiru has a good grasp of the issues requiring proactive legislations; he is Energetic, vibrant, knowledgeable, articulate and also have the requisite exposure to guarantee good legislation in the interest of progressive ideals and the fire of Nigeria.
“Osun central deserves the best and we cannot afford to take chances with key decisions relating to our future, we hereby adopt Surajudeen Ajibola Bashiru as our Senatorial candidate for Osun Central Senatorial District”.
