A former presidential aspirant of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Khadijat Okunnu-Lamidi, has alleged that her assets were seized because she bided for the presidential seat
Okunnu-Lamidi in an exclusive interview with Punch, said the seizure of her assets is part of the price she had to pay for trying to shake up the status quo.
The young female politician, However, noted that she plans to bounce back and get on her phone despite what she was put through.
“I think it is the price you pay for trying to shake up the status quo. But it is nothing I can’t bounce back from. My business is myself and my services. I have services I offer and regardless of the threat of seizure of my assets, it does not really matter. I will build again. I really do not want to expatiate on that but there’s been a price I have paid for stepping out and stepping out of line”.
“There has been an embargo on some things I have been doing. But I have decided to work on my business because that is what business does, and you have to be sustainable in everything you are doing.
“And you cannot depend on government patronage. We are trying to clamour that everyone has equal rights. I don’t have so right to anything. So, I need to move forward.”
However, Okunnu-Lamidi vowed to throw her weight behind Prince Adewole Adebayo, who emerged as the party’s presidential flag bearer. She said: “I didn’t get the party’s ticket but I am supporting the person who won the ticket for my party.”
