Ondo State House of Assembly member-elect for Akoko North-West constituency 2, Mohammed Taofik Oladele, has attributed his victory at the just concluded House of Assembly election to various monumental achievements of the state governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu.

Oladele, a native of Ogbagi-Akoko in Akoko North-West Local Government Area of the state, is one of the 23 APC lawmakers-elect in the last Saturday’s March 9 House of Assembly election in the state. In the election, APC won 23 seats while PDP and ZLP won two and one seats respectively.

He particularly lauded all the people of his constituency for their unalloyed support for the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, which he added, culminated to landslide victory for the party at the Assembly poll.

While commending governor Akeredolu for his outstanding performance within  two years of his administration, the lawmaker-elect noted that the laudable performance in the areas of road construction and rehabilitation, youths employment through agriculture, building and renovation of public primary schools, regular payment of salaries of civil servants, women empowerment, among other laudable achievements contributed greatly to his victory at the poll.

“Mr. Governor is really doing alot for our people, is it in the areas of women empowerment. The governor is giving soft loans to our market women to expand their business activities. Look at what he is doing in the area of road projects across the state, especially in Akoko areas now. This is fantastic and we all appreciate Mr governor for this good work”, he stressed.

Oladele also applauded the governor for his quick intervention in arresting kidnapping and other criminal activities being perpetrated by hoodlums along Ikare-Owo road, saying that everybody is now safe in the area and other parts of the state.

He equally thanked all the party leaders in the state and his constituency for their support throughout the election.

Oladele, a former Supervising Councillor and Economist, contested for the House of Assembly seat in 2015 but lost to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

He assured  his constituents of quality representation and dividends of good governance, promising to fulfil his electioneering campaign promises.

According to him, a lot of meaningful projects based on the needs of the people would be executed during his time, while youths and women empowerment would also be  his priority to improve the standard of living of the people.

He added that necessary support would  also be given to students in   the constituency in a bid to improve standard of education, adding that everybody in his constituency both young and old would feel the positive  impact of his good representation during his time.
