“HOA is a core party man. He is a strong member of Isokan group”, Bolowotan said
“I really love three things about HOA campaign structure, which are the name HOA4HOA, his lineage across the three LCDAs, and the technocrats in his campaign team. These are clear evidences that Hammed Olalekan Aroyewun knows what this constituency needs, and he is ready to deliver those things”, he added.
Speaking at the parley, Aroyewun extoled the virtues of Bldr. Olusesan Daini, Chairman, Igbogbo/Bayeku LCDA, for giving the youths the courage and boldness to contest for elective positions.

I have uncompromising welfare packages for the party people and the entire Constituency II at large. I wish for every woman in our Constituency to be happy the same way I wish my mother to be”, he said while responding to questions by members of the Isokan group.
“It is expedient to inform this meeting that we have put in place a special research and strategy committee that has collated necessary and appropriate information on the needs of our society. These we are going to look into when I am elected and fully implemented. I will not let you down. This is my word for you all”, he assured.
