In a significant show of support, stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Imeko-Afon have rallied behind lawmaker Jemili Akingbade for his bid for a fourth term in office. This endorsement comes as two rival aspirants have withdrawn, paving the way for Akingbade to emerge as the consensus candidate. The decision reflects a strategic move to consolidate party unity ahead of the upcoming elections.
Akingbade, who has represented the constituency since 2015, is recognized for his commitment to local development and governance. His experience is seen as a vital asset in navigating the challenges facing the region. According to Chief Olumide Adebayo, a prominent party leader, “Jemili has demonstrated unwavering dedication to our people, and his track record speaks volumes.”
With the APC aiming to maintain its foothold in Ogun State, this endorsement signals an intent to unify the party’s efforts while rallying voters around a familiar candidate. As the election draws near, Akingbade's ability to leverage this support will be crucial in addressing emerging political dynamics and competing interests within the constituency.
