Deji Aboderin, a former Senior Special Assistant on Public
Affairs to the immediate past Governor of Oyo State, Abiola Ajimobi has
declared his intention to represent Ibadan North East/ Ibadan South East at the
House of Representatives in 2023.
Aboderin said he will be contesting on the platform of the
ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state.
He made the disclosures during a meeting of PDP in Ibadan
North-East local government area.
Our correspondent gathered that the meeting was held at
Oluyoro Girls Grammer School, Padi in Ibadan on Thursday.
Our correspondent recalls that Aboderin was the All
Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for Ibadan North East / Ibadan South East
federal constituency during the 2019 general elections.
Aboderin who had moved to the ruling PDP in the state has,
however, joined the House of Representatives contest.
Aboderin while speaking during his official declaration,
assured PDP members that he will not disappoint them if given the mandate to
run on the platform of the party.
He added that politics is not about competition, saying that
he is not joining the race to compete with anyone.
It was gathered that the current occupant of the
position, Abass Adigun was elected on the platform of PDP in 2019.
Ibadan North East / Ibadan South East is one of the fourteen
federal constituencies in Oyo State.
The two local government areas which make up the federal
constituency are domiciled in Oyo South Senatorial District which is currently
being occupied by Dr. Muhammad Kola Balogun.
It was also gathered that Balogun is a younger brother to the
current Olubadan of Ibadan land, Oba Lekan Balogun.
