Member of the House of Representatives for lseyin/ltesiwaju/ Kajola/lwajowa federal constituency of Oyo State, Shina Peller, has set tongues wagging by posting presidential and Senate campaign posters of himself on social media.
He said in his lengthy note posted to Twitter on Wednesday that many have been calling on him to make bold political moves such as going for the presidency or Senate for a chance to represent Oyo North.
“In recent times, I have had several support groups clamouring that I make bold political moves. I sincerely thank them for their trust and concern. While there are calls for me to run for the senate others say I should throw my hat into the presidency ring,” he said.
“As a leader, I understand that I must make tough decisions and make tough sacrifices to enhance the lives of people around me.
“I am not oblivious to the fact that persons of interest are donating to further this cause, however, the reality of our political system where delegates decide on the fate of millions makes the yearnings of the youth even more difficult.”
The popular Club Quilox owner said this was not about him but the next generation. He proceeded to invite youths to a roundtable discussion on Thursday.
“As young and credible people, it’s about time we make strong demands from our party. We must bring our negotiation strength and skills to the table even as political party primaries fast approach.
“To this end, a meeting by the coalition of Progressives Young Nigerians shall be taking place at Ikeja Airport Hotel, on Thursday 5th of May, by 3 pm. Young people seeking elective positions in the country are invited,” Peller added.
