A leading aspirant for the Akure South Constituency I seat in the Ondo State House of Assembly, Hon. Oluwadamilare Adeleye, has reaffirmed his candidacy, citing years of community service and measurable grassroots impact as the foundation of his ambition.
Adeleye, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), made this known in a recent statement where he underscored his track record in welfare initiatives, youth empowerment, and community development as evidence of his preparedness for legislative responsibility.
The aspirant noted that his decision to contest is not driven by future promises alone but by a continuation of ongoing interventions that have directly impacted residents of Akure South. He emphasized that effective representation requires a deep understanding of the constituency, built through consistent engagement and service.
“My records over the past years are not just figures on paper; they are the stories of the people we have reached and the lives we have touched,” Adeleye said, adding that his aspiration is to ensure that constituents enjoy quality and responsive representation.
Highlighting key areas of intervention, Adeleye pointed to his efforts in human capital development, particularly through educational support initiatives such as free JAMB registrations and the distribution of learning materials. He also referenced various skills acquisition programmes, including ICT training, drone technology, shoemaking, tiling, and bag making, designed to equip youths, students, and small business owners with practical, income-generating skills.
In the area of social welfare, the APC aspirant stressed his commitment to supporting vulnerable groups, especially the elderly, through initiatives like the “Luckyfó K’rugbo Jẹhún” programme and free medical outreach services.
Adeleye also highlighted his advocacy for improved infrastructure and safer public facilities, noting that sustainable development must be anchored on quality standards and community-focused planning.
According to him, his candidacy is built on the principles of accountability, accessibility, and actionable development, adding that leadership should be measured by consistent efforts long before election cycles.
“We are not just asking for a mandate; we are asking for the opportunity to scale the progress we have already started,” he said. “The work of the last two years has shown what is possible when leadership truly listens to the people.”
He further called on stakeholders, community leaders, and constituents to engage in issue-based dialogue, urging them to assess his candidacy based on visible results rather than projections.
As political activities gradually intensify in Akure South, Adeleye’s emphasis on performance and established records is expected to shape discussions around leadership, accountability, and representation in the constituency.
