Abdul Raheem Owokoniran, a house of representatives
aspirant, says the actualisation of President Bola Tinubu’s “renewed hope”
agenda will help move Nigeria forward.
Owokoniran, a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC),
is seeking to clinch the party’s ticket and contest the by-election for
Surulere 1 federal constituency.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has
fixed the election for February 3, 2024.
Femi Gbajabiamila, the immediate former speaker of the
house, occupied the seat until President Tinubu appointed him as his chief of
staff.
Speaking after he obtained his expression of interest and
nomination forms in Abuja on Friday, the aspirant said the national assembly
must effectively key into the president’s plans.
“Actualisation of the people-focused development priorities
of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s ‘Renewed Hope Agenda’ is paramount towards
moving Nigeria forward and the National Assembly must play a critical role in
this direction,” Owokoniran said.
“Our past struggles against military rule and contributions
towards the formation of APC as a populist party will be further justified with
policies and processes towards ensuring that every Nigerian lives a good life
today with an assurance of a better living tomorrow and the national assembly
must effectively key into that.
“I believe very much
in the unity of purpose towards actualizing the ‘Renewed Hope’ agenda for the
benefit of the people.
“It was tough for us in battling the military, forming the
Alliance for Democracy and transforming from Action Congress of Nigeria, along
with other legacy parties, to form APC but the best justification is the
realization of our people-focused agenda for the current and future
generations.”
He added that he is working to ensure “politics without
bitterness” and bring together different groups for victory.
