The Representative of the Ikorodu Federal Constituency and Chairman, House Committee on Defense Committee, Rep. Babajimi Adegoke Benson, has assured members of his party, All Progressives Congress (APC), that he would stage a mega empowerment proramme in June.
Benson, who is the Otun of Ikorodu Division elect, also pledged to empower all the LGA and Ward executives during the programme which he said would hold in first week of June.
The young lawmaker made the revelation at a meeting he called to present gifts to LGA and Ward executives that will not be participating in the Congress to elect him as the candidate of the APC for the House of Representatives at his constituency office in Ikorodu on Wednesday, May 18, 2022.
He thanked party leaders and members for their support over the years.
“I plan to do a mega empowerment that will have great effects. All the excos will be empowered. It is my way of appreciating you”, Rep. Benson announced.
“Our empowerment is coming up first week in June for everyone. We are going to consider both executives that are with us and others. It is for all of you”.
He also announced that he would be presenting all the excos invited with gifts as compensation since many of them will not be participating in the primary election to elect him.
“I called you here today to compensate you since many of you will not be participating in the primary election”, he said.
“It’s painful that majority of you people will not have the opportunity to vote for me in the House of Representatives primary election because only five delegates from each Wards will be elected to vote.
“I would have loved to see you voting for me because you were the ones that elected me in 2015 and 2019, unfortunately, only few of you will elect me in the primary coming up on Tuesday”, he added.
The lawmaker also promised to compile all the aspirants agreed upon to emerge as candidates and take the list to the party leadership.
