A leading Senatorial Aspirant for Ondo North Senatorial District on the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC), Pastor Jide Ipinsagba has promised to address the lingering problems of poverty, unemployment and educational backwardness of his people.
According to him, these are some of the factors that gave rise to all sort of social vices in our area.
Jide Ipinsagba spoke during his visit to Ose and Owo local government party (APC) secretariats where he met with APC Local Government Executives amid crowd of supporters led by the Chairman of Ose Council, Chief Ladi Tenabe and Chairman of Owo Council, Hon Samuel Olusanya.
Pastor Jide Ipinsagba said he is the right person to lead Ondo North into the Promised Land, and promised to bring to bear exemplary leadership and ensure that democratic governance prevailed.
He said, “If giving chance to run for the election by the people of Ondo North, I will ensure that the high poverty index, youth unemployment and other social ills in our area become a thing of the past”.
“I also promised to make youth empowerment and general well being of the people my priority, if giving chance to represent the senatorial district” he assured.
While speaking, a former Chairman, Local government Service Commission, Hon. Femi Idris said for him to support Pastor Jide Iponsagba, it means that he can be trusted because he has been tested.
“He has been tried and tested. He has a mega vision for the senatorial district. He listens to the people and his plans are always for the collective good. That is the person we want to be our representative at the Senate.”
“It is interesting to note that Ondo North Senatorial District has six Local governments. Owo/Ose Federal Constituency has gone to Senate twice, Akoko South West and Akoko South East currently at the Senate with 12 years (three terms). It is the now turn of Akoko North East/Akoko West”, Idris said
According to Idris, Akoko North West presently has a Member House of Representatives, Hon. Olubunmi Tunji Ojo (BTO) and we want him to continue beyond 2023 because he has performed creditable and this will give Akoko North East to produce the Senate.
In his address, the former Chairman, Ose Local government, Hon. Bola Adelegbe charged Ipinsagba to focus his attention and campaign on the people of the four local government in Akoko area saying that 80 per cent of Ose people are for him.
He pleaded with the senatorial aspirant to remember the teeming unemployed youths in the area when he get to office.
In the same vein, the Party Chairman in Ose local government, Chief Ladi Tenabe, a former Permanent Secretary, said Pastor Jide Ipinsagba is a well known person to him,a distinguished personality if given the chance, he will do well at the Red Chamber.
“He is the most qualified person to represent us at the Senate. There is nothing we are looking for in a senator that is not in him”.
Tenabe urged him not to forget his people when he gets to the Senate. Anyway, “We have been watching you over these years. You have been very wonderful. You have been consistent in terms of service delivery to the people of this senatorial district. You are focused and reliable”.
The Owo Local government party Chairman, Hon. Samuel Olusanya Balogun in his address, said Pastor Ipinsagba remains the best for the position of senior in the North Senatorial District saying that he has been someone who has full knowledge what governance means.
Balogun therefore called for prayers for Pastor Ipinsagba to enable him to harness the abundant resources for the benefit of the people in the area.
