Former Member, House of Representatives and 2019 Governorship Candidate In Ogun State, Honourable Adekunle Akinlade has obtained the Governorship Nomination and Expression of interest forms of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State.

In his declaration, Akinlade who represented Egbado South and Ipokia federal constutuency in the lower chamber of the National Assembly in 2015 explained that he decided to join the race again because it was a mandate that “we must undertake with clear conviction and determination to succeed”

He stated further that if given the mandate he would complement the infrastructural strides of past administrations in the state.

Hon Akinlade says “My dear good people of Ogun State and party faithful, as a young Eagle (politically), I rode on the great wings of our leader above the Olumo Rock and beyond, he showed and taught me many lessons.

“Someone once told me that “if your dreams do not scare you, then it’s not worth exploring”. Yes, it is daunting and almost scary without the usual safety net, but this is one mandate that we all must undertake with clear conviction and determination to succeed. As l call on you once again, I must say that what kept me going in the last three years was your love, prayers, encouragement and sacrifices.”

He added that: “Dear compatriots, my aspiration to run for the highest office of our dear state once again, hinges on sustaining and complementing the giant infrastructural strides of past administrations, one of which I was privileged to have served in, between 2011 and 2015.

“This morning, Sunday the 8th of May, 2022. I placed calls through to my co-aspirants and congratulated them for throwing their hats in the ring for the Ogun 2023 Guber contest. I assured them of my cooperation in the process and received the same courtesy.

“True vision and desire to serve should be selfless, devoid of acrimony and divisions. We are people destined for greatness, thus, this is the time to reset our focus and reposition the future of our dear State as envisioned by our forebearers. Thank you all and God bless,” said Akinlade.
