There is a sphinx-like quality to Senator Gbenga Ashafa. His genius burns with electricity that that no earthly contrivance could tame. Wherever he finds himself, the very hard-working Senator parades his smarts at astounding depths.
Little wonder, the Senator representing Lagos East Senatorial District, Senator Ashafa, was on Monday, 2nd April, 2018, endorsed for another term in the upper chamber of the National Assembly by the Executives and members of his ward, in Bogije Ibeju Lekki area of Lagos State and the Executives of the Ibeju Lekki Local Government Area. The endorsement followed a vote of confidence passed on the Senator during the Easter Get together organized by the Senator for the residents of Ibeju Lekki.
In a unanimous decision taken at the event by all the party executives in Ibeju Lekki, it was stated that “Having gotten the Nod of the National leader of our great party, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the go ahead of all Apex Leaders, we the executives and members of the All Progressives Congress, Ibeju Lekki Local Government Area hereby pass a vote of confidence on the quality of representation delivered by our able Senator Gbenga Ashafa/son of the soil and hereby endorse him for another term in the upper chamber of the National Assembly.”
Ashafa was described as a son of the soil who has attracted a lot of developmental initiatives to the area and has represented the Local Government in all his years of public service with excellence.
In his response, Ashafa thanked the people for their constant support and encouragement. He noted that he was most delighted that the people from his home ward and Local Government have once again found him worthy to be their representative in the Senate for another term and promised not to rest on his oars.
In his words “I am very grateful to the executives and members of our ward for this vote of confidence and endorsement to represent you in the Senate for another term. I did not expect this when I was coming here today as I only came here to celebrate the Easter Celebration with all of you. I do not take this lightly at all and I promise not to let you down.”
The Senator went further to state that “I cannot do this alone, I count on your usual support and I believe that together, we can do more.
