The Executive Chairman of the Lagos Mainland Local Government Area, Alhaji Jubril Kolawole Emilagba, and a group known as Like Minds in the All Progressives Congress (APC) from Ifelodun LGA of Kwara State have canvassed support for the governorship ambition of Hon Bashir Omolaja Bolarinwa (BOB).

Mr Emilagba, who spoke in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, at a forum organised by Like Minds to solicit support for the aspiration of Hon. Bolarinwa, added that the former member of the House Representatives had garnered both leg- islative and executive experience to govern Kwara State.

Emilagba, who also hails from Kwara State, said the governorship aspirant was a Councillor, and two terms Executive Chairman of Lagos Mainland before being elected to the House of Representatives to represent the same Mainland local council.

He said: “This is the time for him to come out and join the governorship race. “BOB, who is from Kwara South, knows the knotty issue of insecurity in the district. We need someone like him that knows the system of government.

“Governor Abdulrahman AbdulRazaq is doing fantastically well. But my belief is that if we give BOB the opportunity to govern the state, the problem of insecurity in Kwara South will become a thing of history.”
