One of the widely respected leaders in Odo-Otin, as well as a frontline politician in the Progressives fold, prince Hon. George Durosinmi has expressed his concern and chagrin in regards how the leaders in Progressive party have not been "fair" to the people of Odo-Otin in terms of sharing elective posts in respect of the pertinent three Local Governments.
He vouchsafed in the presence of the visiting ODO-OTIN PEOPLE'S CONCERN " He said the party leaders in Ifelodun and Boripe have marginalized us in Odo-Otin. Hon. George Durosinmi confirmed that, all the aspirants contesting in Odo-otin, have obtained the form of House of Representatives and had submitted and undergoing the screening at National Secretariat in Abuja. They are proudly from Odo-Otin. If the party wants to be honest and transparent to us in Odo-otin, the slot of House of Representatives ticket must be allocated and contested among Odo-Otin Aspirants."
In his analysis, Hon. George Durosinmi explained that, since the dispensation of this present Democracy, the post has been rotated between Boripe and Ifelodun. "I want us to check the history, late Hon. Oyetunji in 1999 was from Ifelodun, he contested he won and in 2003 the same Hon. Oyetunji contested and loosed. While Hon. Wale Afolabi was given the ticket many times which he lost to the opposition. Even the late Hon. Alabi from Odo-Otin did not hold the ticket from Progressive Party, and Hon. Yinka Ajayi Boripe, held the ticket from 2011 till 2019. Now Ifelodun Hon. Rasheed Afolabi is also from Ifelodun 2019 till date".
Hon. Durosinmi continued and said, "that let us consider the people of Odo-Otin for the post of House of Representatives because it was marginalized since inception of politics since 1999, and in terms of voting strength Odo-Otin has a larger vote transcending the vote strength of other Local Governments in Ifelodun, Boripe and Odo-Otin Federal Constituency. There is nowhere the leaders in Odo-Otin sat, deliberated, and denied the ticket of House Representatives".
Hon. George Durosinmi said all the aspirants are competent candidates exceedingly transparent, accountable, and utterly dedicated to the service of humanity as second to none.
Therefore, since exception of politics 1999 till today Ifelodun was given the opportunity to contested for four (4) times while Boripe was given two (2) times but Odo-Otin was left out.
Hon. George Durosinmi exhorted the leaders to zone the ticket of House of Representatives to Odo-Otin.
He said, "It is the right thing to do. I assure the leaders of the party that this will reinforce and boost the voting strength of the party in Odo-Otin. Hence we can forge ahead with dynamism, zest and progress,"
