*Bye-Election 2020: Vote for principle; Vote for passion: - Femi Saheed* The beauty of every election is contesting. However, casting our ballot for the right candidate puts the icing on the cake. I have thoroughly engaged with virtually all Residents Associations, CDCs, CDAs and critical stakeholders in my constituency. I can make bold to say that I am well abreast of the challenges we face in our respective communities.   My principles to proffer solutions on assumption of office is never in doubt.
