The establishment of the ENACT Security Trust Fund which is designed to provide financial support, welfare packages, and compensation to the families of fallen vigilantes and ease things for the injured ones.

Engineer Adeyemi noted that legislative duties entail enactment of laws, representation, and oversight functions and he is ready and prepared for the job  citing his appointment as a member of the Board of Trustees of TETFUND, where he represented North Central.

He asserted that he did a good job in less than two years and ensured that the geo-political zone enjoyed quality representation,

While the 2019 general election was to say ‘otoge’ to then ruling political party and special attention was not paid to the quality of candidates nominated by the party and the 2023 general election was about allowing them to have a second term, that of the 2027 general election will according to him be about choosing ‘quality’ candidates.

Engineer Nurudeen Adeyemi, who also said he had before now sought party nomination on two occasions precisely 2019 and 2023, and did not get it, noted that this had made him get more prepared for the job . He also promised to ensure quality representation while adding that he will remain committed to supporting, and improving the lives of others,

He had earlier received royal blessings from three traditional rulers in the local government.

During his visit to the palace of Alagbele of Agbele, Oba Mustapha Adeyanju, the monarch fervently prayed for Engineer Nurudeen Adeyemi and asked God to make his political aspirations become a success while the ‘prayer mood’ was maintained at the palace of Onijan of Ijan-Otun, Oba Aron Aransiola Omoniyi.

Onijan noted that he had met Engineer Nurudeen Adeyemi at an event held in a town near Isapa a few years ago and the two of them had since then maintained an ‘excellent’ relationship while disclosing that he had also called the senate aspirant earlier in the year to pray for him without prompting.

Oba Aron however urged Engineer Adeyemi not to become inaccessible if elected senator citing his experience with Senator Lola Ashiru.

The Deputy Senate Leader, he noted, had attended his coronation anniversary in 2002 which had allowed a face-to face meeting and had giving birth to an ‘excellent relationship’, surprisingly however, Senator Ashiru had become inaccessible and stopped picking up his calls after he became a senator.

He prayed for Engineer Nurudeen Adeyemi’s success while also noting that God will shame his enemies and make him achieve his political aspirations.

At the palace of Elesie of Esie, Oba Yakubu Babalola, Olowe of Esie, Chief Joseph Oyewumi and Baale of Esie, Chief Yinka Yusuf prayed for the senate aspirant and wished him success.

Engineer Nurudeen Adeyemi is an indigene of Esie, Irepodun local government.

They noted that the senate aspirant is not one of the people who have identified with Igbomina cause because of politics having introduced Igbomina Mobile Clinic and other initiatives long before he ventured into politics.

Elder Kola Owolabi, who is an APC elder in Irepodun local government, also warned against split vote and emphasized the need for the local government to present a common front while Alhaji Abdulkarim Muhammed from Ajase Ward 1 urged prayers for Engineer Nurudeen Adeyemi submitting that all that had been said about his initiatives and schemes are true.

He also recalled how Engineer Adeyemi surprisingly gave money to all the delegates at the venue of the primary election in 2023 after the process had ended.

He said the senate aspirant is tested and trusted while Prince S.A Alebiosu also said ‘we know him, we know his antecedents, we have seen what he has done, let us therefore pray for him and wish him success’.

Giving his speech at the meeting held to cap it off in Ajase-Ipo, Mr Ibrahim Kawu, who is Irepodun local government APC Chairman, urged party members to choose wisely.

The meeting was attended by party officials at the ward and local government levels in Irepodun local government.

 Hon Kawu urged party members to shine their eyes noting that they know who they can choose as candidates and will remain accessible after winning elections and those who will do otherwise but people have however according to him continued to choose wrong candidates because of ‘immediate gain’.
