• Vows to Uphold Late Akinremi’s Legacy
Hon. Monsuru Akintunde Adeyemo, former Vice Chairman of Aare Latosa Local Council, has officially declared his intention to contest in the forthcoming by-election for the House of Representatives in Ibadan North Federal Constituency of Oyo State.
Addressing the press, Adeyemo first expressed his deep condolences to the family of the late lawmaker, Akinremi Jagaban, and the broader community, reflecting on the impact the loss has had on both the party and the constituents.
“May Allah, in His infinite mercy, grant them eternal rest in Al-Janat Firdaus and provide us all with the strength to bear these sad occurrences,” he said.
Over the past 41 days since the passing of Prince Akinremi and eight days since the Oyo APC party gaffer, Barr. Isaac Omodewu’s departure, Adeyemo shared that he has dedicated himself to prayer and reflection. This period, he noted, has allowed him to carefully study the historical patterns and current trends within the constituency and the party.
Recognizing the formidable aspirants already in the race, the APC chieftain positioned himself as a bridge builder, emphasizing his longstanding commitment to the party and its progressive ideals.
“As a founding member and loyal stalwart of our party, I humbly offer myself as a bridge builder to fill the gap left by our late representative,” he declared.
Adeyemo highlighted his extensive experience within the APC, including maintaining strong relationships with leaders at various levels and contributing significantly to the party’s activities.
He also underscored his role as a pro-people advocate, having helped numerous individuals secure employment and contributed to human capital development within the constituency.
Reflecting on the five years of impactful representation by Prince Akinremi, Adeyemo promised to consolidate and build upon the gains made during that period.
“My passion to serve our people and to make a meaningful impact on the lives of the constituents of Ibadan North drives me to put forth my candidacy for this position,” he asserted.
With a diverse background in student unionism, youth leadership, pan-African activism, and communication, the aspirant expressed confidence in his ability to effectively represent the interests of Ibadan North Federal Constituency at the federal level.
He therefore called on party leaders, members, and constituents to unite behind his candidacy, vowing that together they could achieve transformative change and foster inclusive development.
“As I win, you win,” Adeyemo concluded, expressing his gratitude to his supporters and reaffirming his commitment to progressivism and the ideals of the APC.
