As the August 16 by-election for Remo Federal Constituency approaches, all eyes are on the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). The decision the party makes in the coming days will shape its chances in the election and its relevance across Ogun State.
This is not the time for experiments or sentiment. The PDP must present a candidate who is competent, trusted, and widely accepted. A wrong choice could hand the seat to the opposition on a platter.
Solomon Osho: Grounded and Prepared
Among the aspirants, Honourable Solomon Oluwaseyi Lambo Osho stands out as the most qualified. His political journey and grassroots connections make him the clear favourite for the PDP ticket.
Osho is not a newcomer. He served as a member of the Ogun State House of Assembly from 2019 to 2023 and earlier as Leader of the Remo North Legislative Council. His public service record speaks for itself.
Remo North is firmly behind him. His track record and strong ties within the community have earned him widespread support at the grassroots level.
In Sagamu, his paternal heritage from the Ewusi royal lineage and the respected Lambo family of Ibido gives him a strong presence. These local connections are politically relevant and give the PDP an advantage.
In Ikenne, the party’s strength can be solidified with the involvement of Honourable Oladipupo Adebutu, who understands the terrain and will play a vital role in securing votes.
PDP Must Avoid Costly Mistakes
The PDP must not risk this opportunity by fielding a weak or unpopular candidate. Voters in the Remo Federal Constituency are politically aware and will not be swayed by empty noise or flamboyance. The party must avoid candidates who are loud but lack substance.
Internal democracy and merit must guide the party’s decision. The choice must be someone who can win at the polls and also represent the constituency effectively in the National Assembly.
Time for Strategic Action
The PDP has an opportunity to strengthen its base and deliver a decisive victory. Honourable Solomon Osho has the profile, the public trust, and the political structure to deliver for the party.
He is young, well-educated, accessible, and experienced. His combination of legal expertise, legislative exposure, and grassroots connection makes him the most reliable choice.
Conclusion
This by-election is critical for the PDP. It must not be treated lightly. The party must choose wisely and strategically. Supporting Honourable Solomon Osho is not just the popular decision—it is the practical, winnable one.
If the PDP truly wants to retain the Remo Federal Constituency and reaffirm its dominance in Ogun State, the path is clear: Solomon Osho is the right candidate at the right time.
