The immediate past Chairman of Somolu Local Government, Hon. AbdulHamed Salawu, popularly known as “Dullar,” has officially declared his intention to contest for a seat in the Federal House of Representatives, pledging to represent the people of Somolu at the Green Chamber in Abuja.

‘Dullar’, who recently concluded his tenure as the Executive Chairman of Somolu Local Government, made his ambition known amid growing support from political associates, community leaders, and residents who have commended his track record in grassroots development and good governance.

In his declaration held at the Somolu Party Secretariat situated at Onipanu, Somolu area of the state, the former council boss emphasised his commitment to effective representation, people-oriented legislation, and the advancement of Somolu’s socio-economic interests at the national level.

“I am stepping forward to serve my people at a higher level, to ensure that Somolu has a strong voice in national discourse and that our collective aspirations are adequately represented,” he stated.

Dullar, who also holds the traditional title of Agba-Akin of Agboyi Kingdom, highlighted his achievements while in office, including infrastructural development, youth empowerment initiatives, and community-based programs aimed at improving the welfare of residents.
