The lawmaker representing Obokun State Constituency in the Osun State House of Assembly, Adewumi Adeyemi, says he has a covenant with the members of his constituency to serve with empathy.
Adeyemi said he would ensure that the lowest strata in his constituency feel the impact of governance.
He disclosed this while empowering over 300 constituents with N100 million under an initiative tagged the “Skills to Wealth Empowerment Scheme.”
Adeyemi said: “I do this every year not for politics, but because I know the pain of having skill without tools.
“This program is not solely about providing financial assistance; it serves as a lifeline for our people to regain their dignity. When a father or mother takes home a grinding machine or a deep freezer today, he isn’t just taking home a tool; he is taking home the assurance that he can feed his family tomorrow.
“This initiative aligns with the broader goal of empowering every citizen to access the dividends of democracy and experience the impact of governance.
“This is not solely about providing financial assistance. This is my covenant with the people of Obokun: to serve with empathy and to ensure that governance touches the lowest among us.”
In his remarks, Rep. Bamidele Salam commended Adeyemi for setting a high standard for legislative representation.
“Honourable Adeyemi has shown that representation is about people, not just position,” Salam noted.
Also speaking, the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Mr. Adewale Egbedun, described the programme as a model for other constituencies.
Egbedun, who noted that the initiative goes beyond politics but is impactful, stated that Adeyemi’s dedication to this cause aims at building a brighter future for Nigeria where education is accessible to all.
According to the Speaker, the programme is a gesture beyond politics, a true demonstration of humanity in action.
