Ladies and Gentlemen, firstly thank you sir for promise made and kept, to sustain our morale in making a case for your aspiration. During your speech, it was slightly leaning towards media tête-à-tête! It reverberated your old days at the podium. 😁
Your historical backgrounds in unionism and activism back in tertiary institutions, actually could have been a pedestal to contest under the Labour Party (LP), pilot even greater political movements and champion more aggressive idealism but for your impartial obligations and consistency made you a staunch devotee of a political party your mentor and current ambition aligns with - the All Progressive Party (APC).
Like we recall at this parley, you have made huge strides in the party that offer quality representation, qualifying your personality and distinguishing you from the regular political aspirants, these exceptional qualities made you a Council Mayor, and based on records, 2 times aspirant of the Lower Chambers.
The aspiration of your interest to be a member of the lower Chambers as we properly traced was excused away under 2 auspicious circumstances that tested your loyalty, resilience and popularity, how is this?
First, the other party aspirants were in no quality and political stamina above your estimation but subservience and strength of character overrode your ambition when you were asked to step aside 1st and 2nd time, based on party policy of allowing 2nd term for the incumbent.
The dire appeasement made to your person by respectable party leaders, to relinquish aspiration to allow party decision supercedes is concrete proof of your stability and ultimately admissions that if Bamigbetan had been given the floor 2ce, the 3rd should be unequivocal allotment merited not only through party reward systems but justified largely based on his consistent political strength and loyalty to the party over the 3 tenures of the MHR.
On the contrary the party lost the operational political strength 2ce in the 3 tenures that KOK was denied. Therefore, it is logical that candidates of your status are vital to Recovery, Consolidation and Power Retainership, not only do these 3 indices matter but his wealth of experience and peculiar problem solving abilities, in-depth policies formulation and background in civil advocacy, should now be used in the constituency for greater good.
Arriving at this logical conclusion that a best option should not be disputed and KOK's candidacy should be of "no contest" is predicated that when having the best of intentions, this conclusion is standard reasoning and most commonsensical than wasting time, energy and resources at competition where outcomes may disfavor both party and electorate as previously witnessed.
Hon. Kehinde Bamigbetan in biblical language has long- suffered tactical delays to project his political interest in the House of Representatives and by converting and capitalizing on the tactical delays, he's justly enunciated this opportunity in 2025 to be EMI'LOKAN of Oshodi/Isolo constituency II.
This conversation ends with the unavoidable reasons and special circumstances upholding the singular phrase that Hon. Kehinde Bamigbetan aspiration in the forthcoming Legislative race should be of " *no contest* "
We wish him safe sailing.
