The Chairman of Bariga Local Council Development Area of Lagos State, South West  Nigeria, Mr. Akeem Omoyele Sulaimon, has called on the political class to always  focus on politics of issues and ideas.

Sulaimon, who is eyeing a seat in the House of Representatives in the forthcoming  elections, lamented that 50 years after independence, Nigeria is yet to make any  impact in terms of physical and structural development.

The astute grassroots politician regretted that despite the combination of military  and democratic leadership of 50 years, the country is yet to overcome abject poverty  which is its major hurdle.

The only parameter to address poverty in the country, Sulaimon noted, is through  unhindered access to effective and affordable shelter, food, good and healthy  environment as well as equal job opportunities and security of lives and property.

He condemned the recent bomb blasts in Abuja, during the country’s 50th Independence  anniversary celebrations and urged security agencies to investigate and  appropriately sanction the perpetrators to serve as a deterrent in future.

On his future political ambition, the council boss who is fondly called Oris by his  teeming supporters, assured the people of better and effective representation at the  National Assembly if given the mandate.

“My record as a council chairman is there for everybody to see and judge. I promise  to even do  more if I am given the chance,” he enthused.
