While speaking, a former Chairman, Local government Service Commission, Hon. Femi Idris said for him to support Pastor Jide Iponsagba, it means that he can be trusted because he has been tested.
“He has been tried and tested. He has a mega vision for Ondo North senatorial district. He listens to the people and his plans are always for the collective good. That is the person we want to be our representative at the Senate.”
“It is interesting to note that Ondo North Senatorial District has six Local governments. Owo/Ose Federal Constituency has gone to Senate twice, Akoko South West and Akoko South East currently at the Senate with 12 years (three terms). It is the now turn of Akoko North East/Akoko West”, Idris said
According to Idris, Akoko North West presently has a Member House of Representatives, Hon. Olubunmi Tunji Ojo (BTO) and we want him to continue beyond 2023 because he has performed creditable and this will give Akoko North East to produce the Senate.
In his address, the former Chairman, Ose Local government, Hon. Bola Adelegbe charged Ipinsagba to focus his attention and campaign on the people of the four local government in Akoko area saying that 80 per cent of Ose people are for him.
He pleaded with the senatorial aspirant to remember the teeming unemployed youths in the area when he gets to office.
In the same vein, the Party Chairman in Ose local government, Chief Ladi Tenabe, a former Permanent Secretary, said Pastor Jide Ipinsagba is a well known person to him,a distinguished personality if given the chance, he will do well at the Red Chamber.
“He is the most qualified person to represent us at the Senate. There is nothing we are looking for in a senator that is not in him”.
Tenabe urged him not to forget his people when he gets to the Senate. “We have been watching you over these years. You have been very wonderful. You have been consistent in terms of service delivery to the people of this senatorial district. You are focused and reliable”.
The Owo Local government party Chairman, Hon. Samuel Olusanya Balogun in his address, said Pastor Ipinsagba remains the best for the position of senior in the Ondo North Senatorial District saying that he has been someone who has full knowledge what governance means.
Balogun therefore called for prayers for Pastor Ipinsagba to enable him to harness the abundant resources for the benefit of the people in the area.
