I'll Give Youths, Women, Pensioners Priority If Elected, Says Princess Adesola Areago



...As She Seeks Lagos West Senatorial District's Ticket



In a quest towards searching for quality representation at the Lagos West Senatorial District, well meaning youths and women have called on the service of Princess Adesola Areago Elegbede to vie for the office of the Senate in Lagos West come 2019.


Born with a silver spoon in her mouth, having been born to a notable industrialist, Chief Ajani Areago and married to a one-time Military Governor of Rivers State and former Nigeria’s Chief of Naval Staff, the late Admiral M.A.B Elegbede, Princess Adesola, as she is fondly called, is surrounded with wealth. Yet, her passion revolves around work and diligence.



She is the Chief Executive Officer, McBel Group, a company dealing in importation/exportation of building materials and household goods. Under this group, exists McBel Security Services Limited, a security-consulting agency with affiliation in the United States of America, Europe, Middle East and Asia. Mabaka Designs is an African Textile Collection concept, transforming the making of Ankara, Adire and Batik, her hobby, into a money-making venture.

Princess is a workaholic and her passion for work is fuelled by flair for perfection, accountability and trust seeking.

Speaking on the call to service, she disclosed that if given the opportunity to serve the people of her constituents, she would move bills, facilitate and push them into laws which would increase youths and women participation in getting appointment into political offices .

The Chief Executive Officer, McBel Group, a company dealing in importation/exportation of building materials and household goods said pensioners would never suffer again as she has a blueprint that would allow them to enjoy the fruits of their Labour immediately after retirement.

Adesola while briefing the media, also revealed that, quality representation,  accountability and earning people's trust should be top agenda of any one vying for any political post in Nigeria.

However,  Alhaji Isa Egbeyemi who represents Princess Adeola Areago Elegbede described her as a "Concern African Model" that would take the dividends of democracy to the grassroots and doorsteps of everyone of her constituents, rather than using the paypayers money for chasing shadows.

He solicited for peoples support and APC Delegates to vote Princess Adesola at the primary election, sighting Senator Oluremi Tinubu, Senator representing Lagos Central as a woman that has made women and people of her constituency proud with an excellent performance at the National Assembly.

He appeal to coordinators of all 28 LGAs and LCDAs under Lagos West to please work in a synergy and ensure Princess Elegbede grabs the Senatorial District Ticket she is aspiring for.

The briefing which was held at the Onigbongbo Town hall, Onigbongbo LCDA was witnessed by top APC Party chieftains in Lagos.

Lagos West deserves better representation – Opeifa




Gbenga Adeniji
A former Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Kayode Opeifa, has said the desire to provide a better representation is the reason he is vying for the All Progressives Congress’ ticket in the Lagos West senatorial district.


Speaking with journalists in Lagos on Wednesday, the APC chieftain in Orile-Agege Local Council Development Area, stated that he would give the district the deserved attention if given the opportunity to serve.
The ex-commissioner is eyeing the position which is currently occupied by Senator Adeola Olamilekan.
Opeifa said, “I will ensure a better representation as well as bring the plight of the people of the senatorial district to the attention of the Federal Government if given the opportunity to serve. I believe my representation will not only benefit the people of my senatorial district, but also the entire country as I will ensure a robust debate in the Assembly.
“I believe Lagos West deserves better representation that is full- time. As the largest senatorial district in the country; some of its constituents are bigger than the population of a state and I believe it can be better.”
Dismissing insinuations that the party leadership had endorsed a candidate for the position, he added that the party always provided a level-playing field for members desiring to contest any position

Opeifa further said what was needed on the Lagos-Badagry Expressway was more than a motion.
He noted, “What we need is not just a motion, but a collaboration between the state and the Federal Government. I will ensure that it further receive the attention of the Federal Government so that it can receive national attention.”
