An aspirant for the House of Representatives seat in Somolu Federal Constituency under the All Progressives Congress, APC, Abdul Hamed Salawu, popularly known as Dullar, has announced his withdrawal from the race.
Salawu, the immediate past Chairman of Somolu Local Government, disclosed his decision on Saturday, stating that it was driven by his commitment to party unity, democratic stability, and the broader interest of the APC in the constituency.
He commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for what he described as disciplined and progressive leadership, stressing that national interest must always be placed above individual ambition and political considerations.
He further pledged to accept the party’s outcome “peacefully and in good faith without protest,” while urging his supporters across Lagos State to remain calm, united, and fully loyal to the APC.
Salawu also expressed hope that political actors would, in the future, extend similar understanding and loyalty whenever decisions within the party structure do not favour them.
