2019: I’m determined to end marginalization of Egbeda constituents. – Ex-Oyo APC spokesman, Sadare
THE candidate of the Action Democratic Party (ADP) for the Egbeda State Constituency in the Oyo State House of Assembly and former Oyo APC’s Spokesman, Mr Wasiu Sadare on Wednesday condemned what he described as the painful and undeserved marginalization of his people by the successive administrations in the state.
Sadare, in a statement issued and made available to journalists in Ibadan by his media aide, Mr. Olalekan Atanda, expressed dismay “over poor government presence in virtually all the communities in Egbeda Local Government as well as Ajorosun Local Council Development Area despite what we bring into the table for the state.
“Going by the results of last census exercise in the country, Egbeda is the fifth most populated Local Government Council in the state while it has also been rated as the fifth best contributor to the state’s economy. Unfortunately, our people have little or nothing to show for their huge contribution to the growth and development of the Pacesetters State and, by extension, Nigeria.
“Since 2003, the story has been the same; exclusion of qualified constituents in government appointments, poor road network, dearth of medical facilities and personnel, declining education facilities, abandonment of rural farmers and agricultural potential, harassment of property owners and innocent citizens in certain communities among others.
“From Ogbere/Oremeji to Sawmill/Old Ife Road, Alakia/Adegbayi to Egbeda/Oluwo, Erunmu/Owobaale to Ataari/Adeleye, Olodo/Kumapayi to Wakajaye/Iyana Church, Monatan/Adogba to Ayepe/Breweries and over 250 other communities where almost a million people live, there is nothing like government impact and nobody seems to be concerned.
“While we sympathise with the people of the constituency for having to endure for this long, we urge voters to use the opportunity of 2019 general elections to put paid to the reign of incompetence, lies and cluelessness by casting the votes for Olawale Sadare as the next Honorable Member representing Egbeda in the Oyo State House of Assembly under the platform of the ADP”.
“There is gainsaying the fact that the ADP has emerged the only ray of hope for the state in view of the desire to replace a team of self-serving impostors with servant leaders and thus usher in good governance as against the current experience of hardship and deprivation. With Otunba Adebayo Alao-Akala as governor, Hon. Temitope Olatoye Sugar as Oyo Central Senator and Hon. Akinwande Akinleye representing Egbeda/Ona-Ara in the Federal House of Representatives, one can be assured that our people are in for a good time”, the statement reads.

Relief as Rep ‘Lafi’ Empowers 300 Constituents Through Skill Acquisition Programme
Over 300 constituents of Akinyele/Lagelu Federal Constituency in Oyo State benefitted from a skill acquisition and empowerment programme organized by their representative in the National Assembly, Hon. Akinmoyede Olafisoye.
The event, held at Faith Joe Event Centre, Alegongo, Akobo, Ibadan, aimed to address the challenges of unemployment and economic hardship by equipping participants with practical skills and financial support.
The programme focused on empowering youths, students, and unemployed graduates to become self-reliant. Each participant was provided with a certificate, a Point of Sale (POS) terminal, an umbrella, and ₦100,000 as a startup grant to kickstart their businesses.
The tools and financial aid were designed to enable beneficiaries to establish sustainable sources of income.
Participants received comprehensive training, gaining hands-on experience to ensure they could effectively utilize the tools provided. The POS machines were configured with the personal details of the recipients, ensuring proper use and discouraging unauthorized transfers.
Addressing the participants, Akinmoyede who is the Chairman House Committee on Nigeria/ Mexico Parliamentary Friendship enjoined the beneficiaries to explore the opportunity for their benefit by ensuring that they use the machines for the purpose it was meant for.
He added that all the machines have been configured with the documents of individual beneficiaries which will make it very difficult to transfer to another person.
In his goodwill message, the Oyo Central Senatorial chairman of APC, Hon. Joshua Oyebamiji said comparing what the lawmaker has been doing in the area of dishing out empowerment and palliatives to his constituents, it is difficult to tag him a first-timer at the national assembly.
While appreciating Akinmoyede for his gesture at the event, former APC Deputy State Chairman, Alhaji Isiaka Alimi, Hon. Fatai Awoyoola, and Hon. Akinbode Emmanuel said they were yet to discover the magic wand being used by the lawmaker for his constant and habitual empowerment programmes.
Some of the beneficiaries who spoke at the end of the training, Afolabi Kuburat, Akinropo Akindotun, Ajala Abisade Iyabo, and Grace Anuoluwapo Ayinde lauded the lawmaker for giving them the opportunity to be self-reliant at this time when Nigerians are facing economic hardship.
