Her words, “Amuwo Odofin deserves a better representative in the house. Many things are wrong, people don’t know what’s happening from the national level that affects them at the local government.
“A good representative is supposed to have regular town hall meetings with his people for feedback and to take the feedback to the House to let know how people feel in his constituency.
“Right now we need to have better representation at the grassroots level.”
In spite of being a woman, Hon. Bolajoko said she was confident of emerging as the winner at the end of the elections.
She continued, “My people love me. Apart from the fact that I am a woman, when I was a Councillor , I delivered the dividend of democracy to my people. I attended their meetings, I was given feedback and it’s the love they have for me that formed my working documents.
“Some of the projects we did have been approved by the state government, and they are ongoing.
