By Prince Benson

After experiencing initial huddles in her quest for the House of Representatives ticket of the Ajeromi- Ifelodun Federal Constituency, Angela Ohakosim has finally secured approval of the Labour Party’s (LP) leadership to contest the seat in February 25th, 2023 General Election.

Consequently, her name has been submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) office in Lagos and the commission’s Headquarters in Abuja, as the authentic candidate of the party for the constituency, having been cleared by both the State and National leadership of the Labour Party.

Popularly known as “Imole Tide,” Angela, got the mandate to contest the House of Representatives seat under the Labour Party.

According to Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, a tiger should not shout about his tigritude, which simply means that Mrs. Ohakosim, is someone who does not believe in shouting about what she is capable of doing, but rather allows her actions to speak for themselves.

As a tactician and strategist, her interest in the House of Representatives position was earlier dogged by party politics, but she however, ended up becoming the approved candidate by the Lagos State chapter of the Labour Party.

Reacting to her triumph, she pledged a robust and more pragmatic representation at the grassroots level, to replace the lackluster performance of successive holders of the position in the constituency from other political parties, stressing that there was no alternative to quality representation and good governance at all levels.

She stated that as a grassroots person, she knows the pains, anguish and core needs of her constituents, adding that she was poised to provide quality representation, aimed at assuaging the plights of the less privileged members of the Ajeromi-Ifelodun constituency.

“I will focus on sponsoring legislation that would alleviate poverty, empower and create wealth for a vast majority of members of the Ajeromi-Ifelodun Federal Constituency, while issues of the girl-child education and violence against women will be tackled frontally,” she stated.
