Rt. Hon. Hakeem Jamiu, a former Deputy Speaker and House of Assembly hopeful for Irepodun/Ifelodun Constituency 2, has expressed confidence in his growing support base, declaring that no political opposition can undermine what he described as a people-driven mandate.
Jamiu, who is seeking to represent the constituency once again, said his political journey has been defined by resilience, experience, and a deep-rooted connection with the grassroots.
According to him, his aspiration is anchored on years of service and the trust reposed in him by constituents across the constituency.
“In every political process, challenges are inevitable, but what matters is the strength of the people’s support and the credibility of one’s track record,” he said.
The lawmaker noted that his previous roles, including serving as Deputy Speaker, have equipped him with the experience and capacity needed to deliver effective representation.
He emphasised that his continued relevance in the political space is a reflection of his accessibility, performance, and commitment to the welfare of the people.
Jamiu further highlighted his development agenda, which includes youth empowerment, community development, educational advancement, and the promotion of peace and unity within the constituency.
He stressed that these priorities remain the focus of his campaign, rather than political distractions or alliances.
The Assembly hopeful also called on his supporters and residents of the constituency to remain calm and united, assuring them of his commitment to inclusive and people-oriented leadership.
Observers within the constituency say Jamiu’s strong grassroots network and longstanding relationship with stakeholders have positioned him as a formidable contender in the race.
As political activities intensify ahead of the elections, Jamiu maintained that his focus remains on sustaining development and delivering quality representation to the people of Irepodun/Ifelodun Constituency 2.
