...Pledges Stronger Representation
National Assembly member and All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for the Ileoluji/Okeigbo and Odigbo Federal Constituency, Hon. Festus Ayodele Adefiranye, has assured constituents of sustained and effective representation if re-elected in the 2027 general elections.
Adefiranye also pledged to deepen legislative accountability, attract more developmental projects and ensure that the voices, needs and aspirations of the people remain central to his legislative agenda.
The lawmaker gave the assurance on Sunday while addressing APC members from the four political wards in Okeigbo, Ileoluji/Okeigbo Local Government Area of Ondo State, ahead of the 2027 elections.
The meeting brought together party leaders, traditional chiefs, community representatives, youths, women and other critical stakeholders to deliberate on the development of the constituency and the achievements recorded under Adefiranye's representation.
According to the lawmaker, the meeting was designed to provide a direct platform for constructive engagement between him and the people following his victory in the recent APC primary.
He stressed that effective legislative representation should go beyond participation in proceedings at the National Assembly, noting that it must also involve regular consultation with constituents, accountability and the facilitation of tangible interventions that improve the lives of the people.
Speaking on the approved Okeigbo Federal College of Nursing and other already completed tangible projects, which he said was facilitated through his efforts, Adefiranye assured the people of his continued commitment to attracting more development projects to the federal constituency.
He said he would continue to use his position in the Green Chamber to attract meaningful projects, support human capital development and promote policies capable of improving the socio-economic well-being of constituents.
Adefiranye said the meeting was particularly important because it provided an opportunity for stakeholders to review his achievements over the past three years and identify areas where further progress could be made.
“This meeting is very critical for us as Okeigbo home-grown individuals to deliberate on my achievements within three years as a lawmaker and to plan on how we can build on the sustained achievements,” he said.
“It is only in this kind of meeting that you can ask the people to give you their needs analysis.”
He reaffirmed his commitment to providing Ileoluji/Okeigbo and Odigbo Federal Constituency with a strong voice at the National Assembly, describing the people's mandate as a sacred trust.
The lawmaker pledged that the interests, welfare and future of the constituents would remain at the heart of his legislative agenda if returned to the National Assembly in 2027.
Two APC stalwarts in the area, Hon. Oyekunle Festus and Alhaji Yekinni Olasumbo, commended Adefiranye for what they described as several initiatives since he assumed office.
They also described the meeting as important for strengthening democratic governance and maintaining regular communication between elected representatives and the electorate.
Earlier, Hon. Ifabiyi Olatunji, a member of the Ondo State House of Assembly, and the Vice Chairman of Ifelodun LCDA in Odigbo Local Government Area, Hon. Giwa Rasheed, urged the people of Okeigbo to support Adefiranye's bid for a second term, saying his continued representation would enable the constituency to attract more democratic dividends.
The meeting also featured calls for APC members in Ondo State to shun all forms of anti-party activities ahead of the 2027 presidential and National Assembly elections.
The party faithful subsequently pledged to embark on aggressive mobilisation and campaign activities in support of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and other APC candidates in the forthcoming general elections.
