OWOLOLA ADEBOLA
It is a new dawn in Akoko North East and North West Federal Constituency as a political heavyweight, Prince Daniel Omolola, has made it known to his teeming followers that his coming in as the representative of the people would pave the way for radical changes in all spheres of life.
In an exclusive interview with our Correspondent at Ogbagi Akoko, his home town in Ondo State, weeks back, soft spoken Omolola, informed that he had already prioritised the needs and aspirations of his constituents in a way that no one would be left out in the scheme of things. “I am a grassroots person.I grew up here and I know what is best for my people.I know what is best for my constituents. And what we want is nothing but the best,” he said.
As a formidable contender that knows his onions, Prince Omolola said that when voted to power his focus would be on strategic development and improved governance that would ultimately usher in the much desirable dividends of democracy for the betterment of his people.
In his words: “Pitching my tent with Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is not by accident. It is an inclusive thing. Ours is a political party that is aiming at creating a future where constituents thrive and prosper. It is my resolve to improve on the existing structures by building more bridges for a better tomorrow – a tomorrow where everyone can enjoy an enhanced ease of life by transforming infrastructure for seamless living”.
Light complexioned Omolola, who appears to recognise the vital role that robust and efficient infrastructure plays in improving the livelihood of constituents, pledged to champion significant infrastructural development encompassing road networks, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, and a reliable power supply.
“By investing in these critical sectors, I aim to alleviate transportation challenges, enhance access to quality healthcare and education, and provide a conducive environment for economic growth without jettisioning the security of our people as no meaningful development can be put in a place where there is insecurity.”
Responding to a question put to him by our Correspondent, Prince Daniel Omolola noted that there would be sustainable economic growth and job creation “because, in as much I have developed a comprehensive plan to bolster unsurpassed opportunities for my constituents in the area of small and medium enterprises, all other things shall follow.
“I know they are achievable by providing enabling environment for investments on one hand and promoting the spirit of entrepreneurship on the other hand. By doing this, I would be stimulating the local economy for the betterment of our people.”
Asked to share his thoughts on education if finally made to represent his people, hard-working Omolola enthused, “It is my plan and resolve to collaborate with relevant and interested stakeholders to establish vocational training centres with the necessary tools, so that school leavers could be their own masters in the nearest future. Yes, I hope to equip constituents with in-demand skills for better employment prospects without losing focus.
“And through these initiatives, we shall, in a way, be reducing poverty, create employment opportunities, and consequently uplift the standards of living in the constituency.
“You should bear in mind that education is a fundamental right and a stepping stone towards a brighter future. I hope to place greater emphasis on transforming the educational landscape within the constituency. This would be achieved through improved access to quality educational materials by revamping existing schools, constructing new facilities, and equipping classrooms with modern teaching aids.
“Additionally, I intend to initiate scholarship programmes to support indigent students so that financial constraints do not hinder or impede their educational pursuits. Through these interventions, I shall be empowering the younger generations with the necessary tools for success.”
