Dr Kazeem Adesina Abidikugu, popularly known as KSO, has been declared the winner of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) House of Representatives Primary election in Ibadan North East/ Ibadan South East Federal Constituency of Oyo State.

Announcing the result of the primary on Saturday, the Chairman of the ADC Primary Election Committee in Oyo State, Mr Harrison Akpojaro, said Abidikugu, a philanthropist, and Agbakin Bobajiro of Ibadanland scored a total of 19 votes to emerge the winner.

Speaking shortly after being declared the winner, Abidikugu, who is a United Kingdom- based Psychiatric Consultant, thanked the ADC leaders and supporters in the Federal Constituency for electing him to represent the party in the election to the House of Representatives, promising to provide purposeful representation for the people of the constituency.

He charged his supporters not to rest yet, saying the big task is the election slated for January next year, saying, “If I am elected, I am going to bring about purposeful representation. For a long time, our people have been neglected.

“So I am bringing a purposeful representation anchored on credibility, competence, compassion and unwavering concern for the people.

“This is not just about politics, it is about my passion, vision and resolution to bring about purposeful development to my constituency.

“Purposeful developments in the area of healthcare, poverty alleviation, and sustainable development, and to reduce the level of poverty, which is too high in the country right now. So my intention when elected is to bring about more purposeful representation.

“I’m calling on all of you, my leaders, my supporters and the stakeholders in the Ibadan North East/ South East Federal Constituency, youths, women and all lovers of good governance, to rally round me and see this project as your own project.

“Collectively, we will bring about the desired developments to reduce the level of poverty not only in our constituency but the state and country as a whole”, he said.
