A promoter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on social media, especially Twitter, Demola Olarewaju, better known by his Twitter handle name, @DemolaRewaju, has thrown his hat into the ring for the job of the Lagos PDP spokesman.
Olarewaju has been consistent in his support for the PDP, and many of his followers on Twitter, know him with that passion.
He said said that following months of deep meditation, he decided to pick up the nomination form to contest the position of State Publicity Secretary of Lagos State PDP at the State Congress to be held in October.
He said: “Attaining this position will be the fulfillment of a personal aspiration within the will of God for me and by the support of my esteemed leaders in PDP Lagos. But I want more – I want to carry my generation along with me and that is why I make this step public today:
“I believe our time to prove ourselves in politics has come. With politics as the pathway to governance, politics holds the key to unleashing our generation’s best efforts.
“Walk with me spiritually. Walk with me emotionally. Walk with me financially. And I make this commitment: that I will walk with you behind our Leaders and I will work for the Peoples Democratic Party in Lagos with full consciousness of my generational responsibility.
“I throw this therefore as a challenge not only to myself but also to you my friends: get involved – register to join in Lagos and build on this Legacy of PDP, a Legacy of a Truly National ideology and Economic Liberalism, the Legacy of our Fathers.”
