Hon. Olusegun Olawoyin has declared interest in representing Kwara South Senatorial District from 2023.
The son of a prominent indigene of Offa, Kwara State, Chief Josiah Olawoyin, made the declaration over the weekend.
The declaration by Olawoyin in Offa coincided with his father’s posthumous birthday.
He said: “With your support, I am set to introduce legislative agenda that is specific, measurable, achievable, reliable, people-oriented and practicable.
“Lawmaking has taken a different dimension and only those with the requisite skills, aptitude should represent us in the Red Chambers.
“I have been an integral part of the system and I am well aware of the agonies of our people.
“My focus when chosen by God and the people and I finally win the election, is to use my exposure in the public service over the years as well as extensive networking to highlight these needs to the appropriate authorities.
“I also desire to propose bills that will add value to our people through creative policies.”
Olawoyin’s mother, who married the prominent member of the defunct Northern Region House of Assembly, Ruth Mopelola Olawoyin, said of his son’s aspiration: “Kwara South People will never regret voting for him if they do.
“He was the Chairman of Offa Local Government and he also served as a Commissioner and he did well.
“He’s a quiet and easy-going man.
“He is my son and since his childhood, he has been a peace-loving person.
“He has been a very responsible person.
“I urge our people to support him.”
