Hon. Adebayo David Alarapon, aspirant, Akure North/Akure South Federal Constituency, Ondo State promised to redefine representation in Akure North/Akure South Federal Constituency following his marks in politics and business.
“I’m on a mission to redefine representation in Akure North/Akure South Federal Constituency. I want to ensure that projects for my constituency will be ones that have direct bearing on my people. I have so much in my legislative agenda and basically, it’s all about strengthening democracy in Nigeria, ensuring consistent projects are executed to have direct bearing on my people” he said.
In a recent interview, Alarapon, aspiring for the PDP’s ticket to fly the party’s flag in an imminent bye-election following the demise of Hon. Adedayo Omolafe (Expensive) who occupied the position until his death in August 16 states that he won’t agree to a consensus arrangement or thorough party primary for the emergence of candidate because “picking a consensus candidate does not represent the wish of the people. The delegates should be allowed to exercise their rights to avoid a crisis because these are the same people you would still need for the general election”. Imposing a candidate on them is not the best, he said.
Speaking on what people should expect from him when he gets the party’s ticket to flag its flag for the bye-election and eventually win to become a representative of Akure North/Akure South Federal Constituency, the former Special Assistant to Governor Olusegun Mimiko said “We should all know the fact that the House of Representatives is a lower house of the National Assembly. Anyone elected into the national assembly is a legislator and the function is to make and amend laws for the benefit of the citizenry. As a legislative house, there’s also the oversight function and deliberate functions. The National Assembly is the custodian of National finances. It also serves as an arm with checks and balances responsibility. In all these, I will do the best of my knowledge and always support laws that will be an improvement to the lives of all Nigerians and strengthen democracy in our country. I have known where the shoes pinch as a grassroots administrator; therefore, bills that will create wealth and make life more meaningful to my constituency will be given unrivalled priorities”.
Alarapon added that “my people have to enjoy a serious leadership that cares about their welfare. So, a series of real empowerment programmes shall be a regular feature of my representation. The late Omolafe had done a lot for our people. This is a challenge for me to take from his compassionate gesture and surpass his remarkable achievements”.
