OBANLA SET TO REPLACE ONDO SPEAKER,ABDUSALAM BY 2011
The battle to take over the State House of Assembly seat from the current Speaker of the Assembly Rt. Hon Taoffek Abdulsalam hots up some few weeks ago as one of the strong member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Akoko North East Local Government of Ondo State Bode Obanla has signified his intention to vie for the seat on the platform of the PDP.
Obanla, while addressing his party supporters from Isowapo 1 and 2, which comprises six communities of Auga, Iboropa, Akunu, Ise, Ugbe and Ikakunmo, said that he has come out to contest for the coveted seat so as to complement on what the current representative of the constituency in the House of Assembly has been able to give to the people of the area.
The Master in Public Administration graduate of LAUTECH Ogbomosho opined that the time has come for a true believer in democracy to come out boldly and support the PDP in the quest to win the ticket of the Assembly seat again so that the people can benefit more than what they are getting now.
“We can not shy away from the fact that our people deserve more than what they are getting right now, I know our limitations and I know we can do more than what we are doing right now to further assist our people from the shackle of poverty and needs. All these I intend to address when I get to the Assembly by 2011,” he said.
The House of Assembly aspirant used the forum to thank the people of his constituency for having so much confidence in him and supporting him to come out and aspire for the position he believes he can use to turn around the fortunes of the people of Akoko North East of the state.
He also advised the people of the area to be steadfast with the PDP as it remains the only party that can truly liberate the people of the area as well as the state from the bondage that is currently the situation with the Labour Party government in Ondo State.
“People should not lose sleep about this current government as it has shown in the last seven months that it has nothing to offer to the people of Ondo State and as such the party would soon collapse and go into historical oblivion,” Obanla said.

LP MEMBERS URGED TO PRAY 
TO OVERCOME MORE CALAMITIES – OBANLA
The supervisor for sports and special duties for Akoko North East Local Government Ikare-Akoko, Mr. SAMUEL OBANLA, has called on Labour Party members statewide to pray fervently and be re-dedicated to God the more in order to overcome the re-occurring calamities been faced by the party in recent times.
Obanla made the call in Ikare while speaking with Sunshine Daily Watch in his reaction to the auto accident which occurred on Sunday along Akinfosile-Igbotako road in Okitipupa Local Government of Ondo State.
The accident involved the press crew members of the governor’s convoy where three members of the press crew were confirmed dead. He stressed that it was a great loss to the state at this point in time.
It will be recalled that the governor was bereaved of his cousin few days ago in similar circumstance along Akure-Ondo road while heading to the reception venue slated to honour the governor in his homestead Ondo Town.
Mr. Obanla observed that as a party of the people it is bound to face many persecutions in many ways.
He implored the party members not to relent in their effort to continue to worship God as they did before the coming on board of the present administration, adding that they should not be carried away with the victory and appointments, hence “we need to pray for the governor for him to be able to paddle the canoe of the state to a safe harbour.
From my point of view our party members had gone to sleep, therefore we should wake up from our slumber and be more prayerful than ever before.
