Rep. Adedeji Olajide (PDP- Ibadan South-West/Ibadan North-West Constituency) in the House of Representatives, says he is seeking re-election into the National Assembly to serve his people and not to enrich himself.
Olajide, popularly known as “Odidi Omo”, spoke with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Ibadan, that the call to service was because his constituents wanted more good deeds from him.
According to him, he only seeks politics of service to the people and not personal enrichment.
“I am a technologist, who has made a lot of money in my field of profession. So, my need for money is not that crazy, but to give back to the system that produced me.
“I have done well for the people of my constituency.
“If I were to be a jobless representative, my people would have suffered more, because I would have been more concerned about recouping my spending and enriching myself,” Olajide said.
