Former Oyo Rep Shina Peller drums up support for successor

A former member of the House of Representatives, Shina Abiola Peller, has urged his constituents and lawmakers-elect in the incoming 10th Assembly to extend the same support and love given to him to his successor.

Peller, who has represented the Iseyin/Itesiwaju/Kajola/Iwajowa federal constituency since June 2019, came to the end of his tenure this week.

The former lawmaker who represented his constituency in the 9th National Assembly has enjoined his kinsmen to extend their support to his successor, Shina Oyedeji, who won the February 25 election on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Peller, who was elected in 2019 on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), was the Oyo North Senatorial candidate on the platform of Accord in the 2023 elections.

Speaking during the valedictory session of the 9th Assembly on Monday, he said:

“As I sign out of the 9th National Assembly, I hope that the cordial relationship that I have built with members in the House will be transferred to my successor, Hon. Shina Oyedeji (O’Shine) of Kajola Local Government, in the overall interest of my constituency, which is made up of four local governments, namely Iseyin, Itesiwaju, Kajola, and Iwajowa.”
