A traditional ruler in Oyo State, Iba of Kishi land, Oba Moshood Oyekola Aweda Lawal, has thrown his support behind the Senatorial candidate of Allied Peoples Movement, APM in Oyo North Senatorial District, Hon Sina Abiola Peller.
The traditional ruler made this declaration on Friday when Peller led a high-profile delegation to the monarch’s palace in Kishi in Oke Ogun geopolitical zone.
Afripost reports that the APM candidate was accompanied by prominent party executives, loyalists, and his mother, Alhaja Silifat Abeo Abiola Peller.
The visit held deep historical and familial significance, acting as a homecoming for the senatorial hopeful whose mother is from the town.
The traditional ruler warmly welcomed Peller as a true son of the soil, offering fervent royal prayers and blessings for his resounding victory in the forthcoming polls.
Peller while speaking, articulated a compelling vision for his candidacy, asserting that he stands as the most uniquely qualified contender to unite and elevate the district.
He highlighted his deep-rooted connections across the three major geographical blocs of Oyo North. He noted that his father hails from the Oke Ogun I axis, his mother is a native of Oke Ogun II (Kishi), and his academic foundation was built in the Ogbomosho axis, where he earned both his undergraduate and postgraduate degrees.
Peller while speaking, emphasised the critical need for seasoned political expertise to manage the diverse interests of Oyo North’s 13 local government areas. He positioned himself as the sole candidate possessing the requisite legislative experience to hit the ground running.
According to the APM candidate, this distinct advantage ensures that the district will receive effective, high-level representation and desirable democratic dividends at the 11th National Assembly.
