2019: Only candidates with track record of meritorious leadership, with impactful vision will win – Rasaq Daddah
* Persistency, perseverance, strategies and selfless service are the keys to success.
The Ijebu Central Federal Constituency House of Representatives candidate under the Peoples Democratic Party, Honourable Oluwakemi Rasaq Daddah has claimed that the success story of any politician in life lies in persistency, perseverance, strategies and commitment to the people at the grassroots which are the hallmarks of any successful race.
Oluwakemi Daddah who is aspiring for the green chamber to represent the Ijebus at Ijebu Central Federal Constituency in the coming 2019 general elections recently made the clarification with our correspondent in Ogun State.
Daddah, a former local government chairman stated that strength of character expecially when one is in politics, one’s stock in trade is the people and should be interested in their problems and be ready to proffer solutions”.
He asserted that for anyone who is aspiring for the national assembly assignment, it shouldn’t be to submerge the stomach affairs, but it should be selfless service to humanity. He should be able to address issues and challenges confronting the people at the grassroots level. “This has kept my name flying high in the political circle in Ijebu Central Federal Constituency as of today, even when I was in the council”.
“I am a veteran in politics in my federal constituency and Ogun State at large, I have contested for various positions, some I lost and some I won, I contested for House of Assembly in 2003, I lost, in 2007 I contested for House of Representatives, I lost as well, but I believe life is marathon, it’s not an 100 meter dash, that is where people are getting it wrong, the fact that you contested for the first time you lost doesn’t mean that you’re a failure.
Politics is not different from the plot as well, in 2012 when I contested for the chairmanship of Ijebu-Ode local government, God answered my prayer, now that I am aspiring for the national assignment, I am ready to give my people a qualitative legislation and quality representation that will bring dividends of democracy to our federal constituency, to Ogun State and Nigeria in general if elected.
Though, in most cases, popularity can’t win an election, but I think I have the strategies in terms of emotion, intelligence, physical and so on to make things happen for my party within the Ijebu central federal constituency”.
In his charismatic determination he said “I am going to bring my experience to bear, I am one of the most experienced politicians in the circle, I will unleach political strategy to, outleach the running party among other good amenities that my constituency requires if elected”, he asserted.
