The Chairman of Senate Committee on Finance and APC Senatorial Candidate for Ogun West, Solomon Adeola has stated that effective representation involves meeting the people to know their needs and challenges and providing solutions to those needs. The senator, who had won elections five consecutive times previously, spoke while addressing a mammoth crowd at Ward 1, Pahayi, Ilaro in Yewa South LGA of Ogun State. Speaking while concluding his ward-to-ward tour of all the five LGAs of Ogun West Senatorial district with engagement with stakeholders and royal fathers of Yewa South LGA said, “I have personally toured and interacted with my people and party faithful in all the 59 wards of Ogun West Senatorial District. I have met various interest and trade groups and royal fathers. “I have heard and seen the level of deprivation and underdevelopment they are suffering and enduring over the years in terms of lack of and decrepit infrastructure in roads, health, education, energy and other aspects of socio-economic development. “Going forward, I am already addressing some of these challenges like instant donation of 25 Transformers to various communities, grading of roads, cash donation for completion of town halls, police stations and palaces with a promise for more immediately after the election. Any contestant for representative position must meet his people at the level of addressing their need” he stated. Senator Adeola who was earlier at Iwoye, Idogo and toured Ilaro Ward 1,2 and 3 donated N1.5million for the grading of a road at Idogo. He stressed that the era of representative being imposed on people is over as representatives have to go to their prospective constituents, not only to canvass for support, but as a way of getting firsthand knowledge of their needs for proper articulation and solutions at the earliest opportunities. He encouraged the people of the district to vote for him as their Senator in the forthcoming election having done much in terms of provision of infrastructure, human resource development and empowerment before his election. The Senator also appealed to them to vote for the APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and other candidates of the party. “APC represents equity, fair play and national unity for the Nigeria nation. After 8 years of rule by President Mohammadu Buhari as a Northerner, Nigerians are agreed that power should rotate to the South and Asiwaju Tinubu is the best candidate from the South based on his antecedents and preparedness” he stated. Senator Adeola promised continuation of his empowerment programmes and other infrastructure development initiatives before and after the February 25 election stressing that four out of the eight transformers requested in Ilaro will be delivered before the February 25 election. Speaking earlier, Mr. Adams Sangosina, who spoke on behalf of the communities in Ilaro commended the senator for his landmark projects accomplished even before his aspiration to contest like the construction of ultra-modern Asade Agunloye Pavilion, the modern library at Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro and thousands of empowerments among others. He added that eight transformers are needed at different locations in Ilaro as well as construction of rehabilitation of some urban roads, including one passing in front of a senator’s house.
