The senator representing Oyo Central Senatorial District,
Ayo Adeseun has empowered his constituents with equipment and grants worth over
N120 million.
At the event which took place at the Durbar Stadium, Oyo,
his constituents, who are from 11 local government areas, showered encomiums on
the lawmaker for extending the gesture.
The equipment included 60 cars, 200 motorcycles, generating
sets, grinding machines, wheel barrow, farm implements, deep freezers, sewing
machines, entrepreneurship trainings and bursary grants among others.
Speaking at the event, the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi
Adeyemi, praised the lawmaker.
He, however, accused Adeseun of not giving due recognition
to those who ensured his electoral success, saying the equipment meant for the Oyo
people was put on hold.
Also speaking, former governor of Oyo state, Omololu
Olunloyo, urged other political office holders to emulate the Ogbomoso born
politician. He said that many of those that were honoured at the centenary
award did not deserve it.
On why he empowered his constituents, the lawmaker noted
that failure to do so would amount to disservice to his personality, adding
that he has enjoyed their supports more than any of his predecessors.
At the event, which lasted hours, were the interim chairman
of the All Progressives Congress, Akin Oke; former attorney general, Are
AbdulSalam; Waliu Ganiyu, caretaker chairmen, traditional chiefs and party men.
