I heartily congratulate Hon. Peter Ojedokun, Member representing Ibarapa North/Ibarapa Central State Constituency, on his emergence as the APM Chairmanship Candidate for Ibarapa North.
His victory, with a resounding mandate from party members across Ibarapa North, is a clear reflection of the trust and confidence reposed in his leadership, vision, and capacity to deliver.
I urge you, Hon. Ojedokun, to set aside the differences and intrigues that preceded your emergence as the APM Ibarapa North Chairmanship Candidate by extending a hand of fellowship to your co-contestants and to all aggrieved stakeholders of our party in Ibarapa North.
As we move forward, I also urge all aspirants most especially Hon. Bisi Akande and Hon. Rasaki Sefiu Tunji and their supporters to close ranks and work together in unity. The APM remains one family, and our collective success depends on our ability to stand together.
I understand how deeply it hurts not to be picked as a candidate by the party. Please know that this is not the end of your political journey. Politics is full of ups and downs, and one setback does not define your future. I encourage you not to relent. Stay committed, keep serving the people, and trust that a better opportunity will come.
I say this from personal experience. In 2019, a similar thing happened to me. I was not picked, but I did not give up. I remained focused, and in 2021 I contested again. By God’s grace, my aspiration was fruitful. That is politics. Your time will come too.
Let us keep faith, for together we can mend, rebuild, and make APM stronger in Ibarapa North.
