Najeem Salaam, the governorship candidate for the African Democratic Congress in Osun State, believes he has the support of voters for the upcoming election. He argues that his history makes him the ideal choice to eliminate political violence and stabilize the region.
During a town hall event hosted by Arise News, Salaam stated that Osun residents are frustrated with ongoing unrest and are looking for leadership that prioritizes security. He characterized the ADC as a peaceful political entity, positioning himself as the only person capable of curbing the prevalence of weapons and aggressive political intimidation in the state.
Salaam emphasized that his goal is to improve the lives of local residents through effective administration and human development. He described himself as a methodical leader who relies on data and planning, noting that his ten-point policy agenda is based on realistic goals rather than empty promises.
Drawing from his history in government and his start at the local council level, Salaam maintains that he understands the specific needs of the public. He concluded that his background in grassroots politics and his commitment to public service have equipped him to manage the state effectively and ensure lasting stability.
