The spokesman of the Ondo State House of Assembly, Hon. Akoni Ifabiyi Olatunji, has declared that the people of Odigbo Constituency 1 will mobilise political support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election in the next presidential election.
Ifabiyi made the declaration in a statement issued on Thursday by his Chief Press Secretary, Sam Ajide, to mark Nigeria’s 66th Independence Anniversary, while urging Nigerians not to lose hope despite the country’s economic and security challenges.
The lawmaker said Nigeria’s 66-year journey had been marked by significant achievements, arguing that the country’s difficulties should not overshadow its contributions to global business, politics, sports, music and the arts.
He said, “As we reminisce on our 66 years as a country, it is tempting to allow present economic and security considerations to becloud the triumphs of our nationhood.
“I dare say that in several fields of endeavour, the world has reckoned and continues to reckon with Nigeria in business, politics, sports and the arts.”
Ifabiyi particularly commended Nigerian musicians and entertainment personalities for taking the country’s creative industry to the global stage.
“It is against this background that I call on Nigerians everywhere not to give up hope in the nation,” he said.
The lawmaker maintained that Nigeria’s shared struggles had strengthened national cohesion and expressed confidence that the country was on a path towards rediscovering its potential.
Turning to the 2027 presidential election, Ifabiyi pledged his support for Tinubu’s re-election, saying his constituents would back political initiatives aimed at advancing the country.
“On behalf of my people in Odigbo Constituency 1, I pledge to work for his re-election in the next presidential poll in order to drive more development for Nigeria,” he said.
He also urged Nigerians to contribute to national development through greater cooperation between government and citizens.
“What I ask of every citizen is to do their part in the collaboration between government and the populace in making tomorrow a better Nigeria for all,” Ifabiyi added.
He congratulated Tinubu, members of the Ondo State House of Assembly and Nigerians across the country on the Independence anniversary.
