Towards making his ambition a reality, a leading Oyo South Senatorial aspirant, under the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC), Olooye Adegboyega Taofeek Adegoke, has not shown any signs, that he intends to slow down, as he continued his interaction with party stakeholders, leaders, and other gladiators.

Adegoke had earlier met with the party stakeholders, which includes party executives, Chairmen, Secretaries, Youth and Women Leaders in the nine local governments that make up the senatorial district.

During his interaction with his teeming supporters, party members, and executives at NIHORT area, Ibadan, the Oyo state capital, Adegoke, a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (FCA), and business turnaround expert promised to invest in the youth and infrastructural development in the senatorial district and the state as whole because they are the greatest asset and treasure of the nation, which is valued more than oil, gold, and silver. 

The APC chieftain, who is also an alumni member of both OAU Ife and the University of Cambridge Judge Business School Advance Leadership Program said by doing this, Oyo south will attain a position of best district in Nigeria.

The local governments are Ibadan North, Ibadan North East, Ibadan North West, Ibadan South East, Ibadan South West, Ibarapa Central, Ibarapa East, Ibarapa North and Ido Local Government Areas.

Adegoke, who is also the Chairman of Solutions 93.9FM and Aare-Onibon Balogun of Ibadanland while soliciting the support of the party secretaries, women leaders, and youth leaders in the nine local governments, appealed to them that the unity among every party member, leaders, stakeholders are key in achieving the victory in 2023 elections.

A philanthropist per excellence maintained that his aspiration is borne out of service to the people of the senatorial district and the state as a whole, noting that with their support, if giving the ticket and eventually emerge victorious to represent Oyo South at the red chamber, he will attract several infrastructural developments into the district that will make it the best in Nigeria.

According to him, “We have the key to unlocking the prosperity of our dear senatorial district and this key is a knowledge economy driven by vocational training, empowerment, and innovation for youths, women, and other people of the district.  

“This is so because no nation has ever become truly great, whether in ancient or modern times without the efficient and effective deployment of training, manpower, and innovation to its development. 

“It is by doing that we can create wealth and enough jobs for our people, fight and defeat poverty, create wealth and prosperity for the nation for our senatorial district, the state, and the country at large.

Oyo south deserves better representation than what we are getting presently, I will make Oyo south the best senatorial district in terms of youth, women, and infrastructural development.
