Alhaji Idris Abiola-Ajimobi, son of late former Gov. Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo, has emerged the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for Ibadan South-West II State Constituency.
At the party’s primaries on Thursday in Ibadan, the former governor’s son emerged as the consensus candidate.
His main opponents reportedly stepped down to make space for him as the party’s flag bearer in the 2023 general election, according to NAN.
Abiola-Ajimobi expressed gratitude to God, his co-aspirants, and supporters for allowing him to emerge as a consensus candidate, promising to make the party proud.
He also expressed gratitude to the party’s leaders and constituents for their unwavering support for him and the party as a whole.
“I will make the people proud. I will make my constituency proud and give them quality representation. I promise to give my best against all contenders from the opposition parties,” he said.
He extended his hands of fellowship to his co-aspirants who stepped down for him, promising to work with them for the good of the party.
“I appreciate our state political leaders, zonal leaders, leaders at the local governments, all APC excos, members, delegates, and good people of Ibadan south-west for their steadfastness, love, and support.
“I wish all of us victory at the 2023 elections. May God spares our lives and rewards our efforts,” he said.
