The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Lagos State has awarded Rauf Age-Suleiman, the APC candidate, a Certificate of Return following the Court of Appeal’s declaration of him as the rightful winner of the March 18 Amuwo-Odofin Constituency II House of Assembly election.
Prof. Ayobami Salami, the INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), presented the certificate on Wednesday, urging Age-Suleiman to contribute significantly to the development of his constituency and the nation at large.
Salami congratulated the congressman and prayed to God to provide him with “wisdom to do what is right.”
“Nothing but prayers has made this a possibility. I am happy that I got justice. It is a good thing to vent your grievances about an election in court, and we have got back our victory.
“I will continue to do what my constituents want and my commitment is to make my people happy,” Age-Suleiman, who is returning to the house for second-term, said.
The politician urged his opponents to join him in creating and moving the constituency forward and vowed to continue to promote the cause of democracy.
He promised to be dedicated to the welfare of the people while also representing them well.
