Non-indigene community in Ojo Local Government Area of Lagos State, yesterday, expressed strong support for the aspiration of Hon. Muhammed Agboola Emiabata, following his expression of interest and filling of nomination to contest the House of Representatives seat on the platform of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in the 2027 general election.
The endorsement reflects people’s confidence in his capacity, accessibility and commitment to inclusive representation and people-oriented leadership. Stakeholders in the Ojo community, including youth, professionals, traders and various support groups across Ojo Federal Constituency came together to rally support for the aspirant.
They described his aspiration as welcoming and assuring of responsive representation at this time in the constituency.
Secretary of All Ojo Non-indigenes, Cletus Ahaotu, who is also a top leader among Ohanaeze Ndigbo, said the Non-indigene and Ohanaeze endorsed Hon. Emiabata for House of Representatives because of his past experiences, which, he said, had shown that only persons with proven honourable disposition, humility, responsiveness and kind heart should be supported and sponsored.
According to him, Ojo’s diversity remains one of its greatest strengths.
Ahaotu stated further that the aspiration of Emiabata resonates with hopes and expectations of many residents across ethnic, religious and social backgrounds.
“We can no longer support those who will go to Abuja and not look back again until after four years” he said.
Stakeholders in the community also restated the need for leadership that understands the daily reality of the people and remains committed to equitable development, youth inclusion and community progress.
In his remarks, Emiabata expressed appreciation to the people, and urged them to remain committed to the democratic process. “I will not betray your trust,” he assured.
