Hon Oludaisi Elemide, the Speaker of the Ogun State House of Assembly, has received support from All Progressives Congress (APC) youths in 10 wards of Odeda state constituency to return to the Assembly. The youths, who gathered in their hundreds at Odeda, the headquarters of Odeda Local Government Area, declared that Elemide's return would be advantageous to the constituency and the local government area. They cited the various developmental projects he has facilitated in the area, including electricity and water projects, as well as empowerment programmes. The youths also mentioned that experience matters in politics and that they should not allow the number three position to be taken away from the local government area.
The decision to support Elemide was made after rumours emerged that some APC leaders were planning to impose a son of the state chairman of the party as the candidate for the constituency. The Deputy Youth Leader of Odeda LGA, Oladipo Sobogun, addressed the gathering and noted that youths in the local government area had benefited a lot from Elemide. The decision was adopted by voice votes coordinated by the Secretary to Odeda LGA, Hon Oyekunle Adebayo.
