The Action Democratic Party (ADP) noted that it was time for the people to take action and move away from the lamentations of bad government in the state which has become a pastime of the people in the state.

Action Democratic Party (ADP) noted that the complaints about none payment of salaries, dirty cities, government- induced frictions among traditional rulers and chiefs, bad roads, inadequate healthcare service and other inadequacies in the state will remain continue unless the people harness their voting power to vote in the Action Democratic Party in the 2019 elections.

“The complaints against the incumbent government on all fronts will remain mere lamentation unless we exercise our rights to vote in a new government next year

“The quest for a good government in Oyo State is widespread and the loud clamour is loud in every street corner. However, it is time for us to take action and go beyond mere complaints.

“Let us troop out in the remaining days of the voter registration exercise so that we are qualified to be part of the historic process of changing the incumbent government to a better one next year.

“The Action Democratic Party, (ADP) is determined to ensure quality free education programme that will be free at the primary and secondary levels, provide bursary and loans to students and ensure the release of full subvention to higher institutions to guarantee payment of salaries to lecturers and workers and guarantee uninterrupted academic programmes in the institutions.

“The Action Democratic Party, (ADP) will also leverage on agriculture, solid minerals, tourism and the creative energy of our youths in ICT to improve the revenue profile of the state so that government can deliver on its responsibilities to the people of the state”.

Akindele also noted that the promises of the Action Democratic Party (ADP) cannot be actualised in the state unless the people exercise their right to vote which they can do only if they register for the elections.

The Action Democratic Party (ADP) further appealed to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to use the few remaining days to take the exercise to those areas which have not had the opportunity of registering for the exercise.

“We appeal to INEC to please identify those areas where complaints have been loud about lack of INEC registration facilities. We plead that INEC provide materials for the exercise in these areas so as to allow the people to register to perform their civic responsibility”.

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.
