Ahead of 2019 elections Ohio, United States-based Oluwafemi Daniel Iselaiye has emerged as the flag bearer of Social Democratic Party (SDP) for Yagba Federal constituency seat in the House of Representatives.
Kogireports gathered that Iselaiye emerged winner by polling 1,481 votes to beat Mrs. Awoniyi Yewande Adebisi, who recorded 220 votes.
Announcing the results in Isanlu on Saturday, the returning officer, Mr. Jibril Lawal said: “having won majority votes, I declare Oluwafemi Daniel Iselaiye as the official flag bearer of the Social Democratic Party for the February 2019 House of Representatives election in Yagba Federal constituency.”
Iseilaye garnered 523 votes from Yagba East delegates, 520 from Yagba West and 438 from Mopamuro local government area.
Speaking to newsmen after the primaries, Iselaiye stated that his ambition was premised on the “palpable signs of neglect, backwardness and underdevelopment” that permeated the area and the desire to turn around the fortunes of the people with special focus on road infrastructure, education and human resource capacity building.
Iselaiye who is Principal Partner, F&F Trees Service based in the United States of America, pointed out that although his business is located outside the country, he grew up in Nigeria and visit the country regularly, an experience he noted had exposed him to “how things can be better done in a democracy. It is not a question of self-service. It is about service and the people are central to it.”
