Kwara South Senate Seat: Nurudeen Adeyemi Gets Good Vibes As He Visits Ifelodun, Oyun LGs

Kwara South APC senate aspirant, Engineer Nurudeen Adeyemi Balogun continued his political outreach and face-to-face meetings with APC ward and local government officials and other stakeholders in the senatorial district on Tuesday.

Recall that the aero space engineer had joined other aspirants to participate in the screening exercise held in Abuja over the weekend and he had gotten the go-ahead to seek Kwara South APC senate nomination.

Recall also that Engineer Nurudeen Adeyemi Balogun had on Monday kicked off strategic meetings and made a series of visits to stakeholders in Irepodun local government with a view to gaining more support for his candidacy and securing more endorsements.

The ‘train’ moved to Ifelodun and Isin local governments on Tuesday and it was good vibes everywhere.

Giving his speech during his courtesy visit to Chairman of Isin local government, Chief Benjamin Jolayemi in his office and his separate interactive meetings with Ward and local government party officials and stakeholders in Ifelodun and Isin local governments, Engineer Nurudeen Adeyemi promised to ensure ‘quality representation’.

The separate interactive meetings were held in Owu-Isin, Isin local government and Idofian, Ifelodun local government respectively.

Highlighting his contributions to community development through the Igbomina Mobile Clinic, support for community-based security initiatives in Kwara South, and the establishment of ENACT Technology Hub in Ajase-Ipo, Engineer Nurudeen Adeyemi, who submitted that he is ‘ready to lead’, also promised not to fail people’s expectations.

He noted that the preference for familiar faces over new faces in leadership is to save the people from fallen into the wrong hands, hence the need for residents of Kwara South to choose rightly this time around.

 Engineer Adeyemi added that apart from him, Hajia Muheebah Dankaka, the Deputy Governor, Mr Kayode Alabi and Senator Lola Ashiru, who were senate aspirants in 2018, others are ‘new entrants’.

He added that although, he had previously sought for party nomination and did not get it on two occasions, he had however not only remained a member of the party but also worked for the success of all the candidates nominated by the party. 

Having sought for party nomination in 2019 and 2023, this time around, the spirit of Emi lokan (it’s my turn) should according to him be allowed to prevail.

Submitting that his motivation has been the desire to serve the public interest and humanity, Engineer Nurudeen Adeyemi noted that he had before given thought to politics demonstrated his commitment to serving humanity through several initiatives which made the Elesie of Esie honour him with the chieftaincy title of Akinkanjuomo of Esie in 2012.

Asserting that he is tested and trusted and has what it takes to ensure ‘quality representation’ as a senator, Engineer Nurudeen Adeyemi also urged party members to attach importance to choosing a good candidate instead of ‘immediate gain’..

He noted that as a member of the Board of Trustees of TETFUND where he represented North Central, he had in less than two years facilitated appointments for over 60 people in the senatorial district at tertiary institutions in the country and ensured the transformation of the Kwara State College of Education, Oro while other tertiary institutions in the state also got huge funds for various projects.

To confirm that he is ‘active’ and will always deliver on job, Engineer Adeyemi noted that he visited over 90 per cent of tertiary institutions in the North Central to see things for himself.

He also noted that the opposition camp is daily marshalling out plans on how to wrestle power from the APC hence the need to present credible and good candidates and ensure that the party’s strongholds are retained in the upcoming 2027 General Election.

Team@orientactualmags.com reports that apart from getting ‘good vibes’ everywhere, there was also declaration of support for Engineer Nurudeen Adeyemi’s political aspirations by some among attendees of the separate interactive meetings.

Ifelodun local government APC Chairman, Hon Babatunde Surajudeen prayed that God will make Engineer Nurudeen Adeyemi’s political aspirations become a success while commending him for being an altruistic person.

He disclosed that the senate aspirant once bailed him out of a bad situation without telling anyone.

Ifelodun local government APC bigwigs who attended the ‘stakeholder meeting’ include Alhaji Kazali Yusuf, Alhaji Fatahi Labaka, Hon Kamaldeen Abolaji, and Alhaji Al-ameen Yahaya Sulaiman.

Also speaking, Comrade Shuaib Abdulwaheed described the senate aspirant as a good-natured person but however urged him not to become inaccessible if elected senator like Senator Lola Ashiru has done.

Comrade Rauf Bello, who is popularly called labelabe, also recalled how he met Engineer Adeyemi at former Senator Makanjuola Ajadi’s residence and how he had since earned his respect and love through his kind deeds. He urged every well-meaning Igbomina person to support his candidacy.

Dr Abayomi Ogundele commended Engineer Nurudeen Adeyemi for establishing Igbomina Mobile Clinic which made hundreds of people had access to free drugs and treatment  while Hon Ladi Omole also described him as a good-hearted person and ‘a good candidate for the job’.

Party leaders including Alhaji Fatahi Labaka 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, this, they noted, made people begin to feel admiration for him.

Hon Tunde Fadipe urged party members to access aspirants seeking their support and ensure that those who are presented as candidates are those who can compete favourably with candidates of the opposition parties.

 He also emphasized the need to present candidates who had over the years shown loyalty to the party while submitting and asserting that it is practically impossible to say a new entrant into the senate race is considered as loyal to the party than someone who is not only an old member but had sought party nomination on two different occasions in the past-Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
