A member of the House of Representatives, representing Iseyin/Itesiwaju/Kajola/Iwajowa federal constituency, Honourable Shina Peller has said All Progressive Congress (APC) is the only party to reckon with in the country.
Speaking after revalidating his membership of the All Progressive Congress (APC) at his Koso ward 9, unit 8 polling unit in Iseyin Local Government, Peller said APC will rule the state come 2023.
He said people are taking the registration seriously and he’s happy that it has gotten to a point in Nigeria where people turn out to have a take in registration of a political party seriously.
“As you can see, it’s peaceful because the will of the people within the party has been done. Democracy is all about the people, It’s a government of the people, made by the people and for the people and the only interest to protect in democracy is the people’s interest,” he said.
“We are targeting to improve internal democracy within our party. I always say to people that our problem as a nation is not in the political party but is about leadership and which starts from the grassroot. In democracy you have to build from your family, to your compound, to your unit, ward and to the state level before start talking about rebuilding Nigeria.
“You can see people turning out and they are taking party registration seriously, so I’m happy that at least I can see this start from my local government and that is how it is for the whole of the Oke-Ogun zone.
“The only party to reckon with now is APC, any smart person now will see the reason to join APC, if you look at that form, the one for my local government has OY/SEY, it means its from everyone from Iseyin can feel that, It means they cannot take that form to register somebody in Ibadan.
“You don’t have to be a billionaire before you can be part of a democratic process, it’s empowering people from the grassroot level and that is why I’m taking it seriously and making sure people are not cheated and the majority having their way,” he said.
