“The is the consequence of party loyalty, Hon. Fadiran has showed an unequal dedication to the party and its leadership since he joined the party in 2002 from the Democratic Party of Nigeria (DPN), he has been aspiring to be the Chairman of this local government and he was always told to wait, now his time has come, we congratulate him.”
