Oyo Assembly seat aspirant promises quality representation
From Ogundele Olanrewaju
Ojewola Olawale, an aspirant into the Oyo State House of Assembly on the platform of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), has promised that effective and quality representation would be his watchword.
The aspirant declared his intention to contest the Ibarapa East State Constituency seat during the 2023 House of Assembly election.
Olawale, who made the declaration while meeting with hundreds of NNPP members at Anko area of Eruwa, said the decision to contest follows his experience as an insider and son of the constituency.
He pledged to render altruistic service that the people of his constituency need if given the opportunity to represent them.
“If given a chance to be a member of the Oyo State House of Assembly, crucial issues like security, agriculture, education, employment opportunities, infrastructural development, among others, would be my main focus,” he stated.
Olawale explained that he would facilitate incentives to vigilantes and local security outfits such as watchmen, to boost their morale, to enhance the security of lives and property in the constituency.
He added that he would make case for the provision of modern farming tools to farmers, saying such will bring efficiency to farming.
On education, the NNPP aspirant said he would push for educational opportunities for the benefit of his constituency, and that he would encourage students from the area with competitions, seminars, lessons, and programmes to boost their passion and focus.
He enjoined his constituents to find him worthy enough of their votes if he eventually emerged as the NNPP candidate for the election.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Olawale, during the event, inaugurated his campaign organisation, known as ‘The Omoluabi Movement and Campaign Organisation” (TOMACO).
In their separate remarks at the occasion, the NNPP State women leader, Mrs Yemisi Atanda, urged members of the party to go out and propagate the party.
Atanda specifically tasked the youths and women within the party to commence grassroots mobilisation.
She wished Olawale good luck, and hinted that more aspirants would soon make their intentions known, adding; “the best person among them will eventually emerge”.
A chieftain of the party, Mr Adelami Adebisi, called on party members to ensure that they collect their Permanent Voter Cards, saying the PVC is the only weapon they have to achieve their wishes.
He urged the people of the constituency to support the aspirant in his bid to contest the Ibarapa East State Constituency in the State House of Assembly.
NAN reports that the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Mr Debo Ogundoyin, is the lawmaker presently representing the Ibarapa East constituency at the assembly
