There comes a defining moment in the life of every society, a moment the ancient Greeks called Kairos, the opportune time to make the right decision for the greater good. That moment has arrived for the good people of Ibadan North-East/Ibadan South-East Federal Constituency. As another electoral season approaches, history beckons on us to choose continuity over uncertainty, proven performance over empty promises, and visionary leadership over political experimentation. This is not merely another election; it is a referendum on progress, stability, and sustainable development.
Since his election in 2019, Rep. Abass Adigun (Agboworin) has rewritten the narrative of constituency representation through purposeful legislation, grassroots engagement, and people-centred governance.
His achievements are visible in the empowerment of youths and women, the facilitation of employment opportunities, the installation of solar-powered streetlights, the construction of educational facilities, the establishment of security infrastructure, and the facilitation of the largest Nigerian Air Force Base in Southwestern Nigeria at Ajia. These are not campaign slogans, they are enduring legacies that have strengthened the social and economic fabric of our constituency.
A defining quality of great leadership is loyalty. Rep. Agboworin has remained steadfast in his commitment to the progressive ideals championed by Governor Seyi Makinde. His loyalty is not rooted in personal gain but in a shared vision of development, unity, and good governance for Oyo State. This political maturity has fostered effective collaboration, ensuring that the people of Ibadan North-East and Ibadan South-East continue to enjoy the dividends of democracy. As the Greeks believed, “Ethos” – character and integrity – is the foundation upon which enduring leadership is built. Agboworin has consistently demonstrated both.
Beyond politics and public office lies the heart of a servant-leader. Rep. Agboworin’s greatest strength is his genuine love for the people. He remains accessible to the grassroots, attentive to the needs of the vulnerable, and committed to uplifting every segment of society. His leadership reflects the Yoruba philosophy that “Àgbà kì í wà l’ọjà kí orí ọmọ tuntun wọ.” A responsible leader does not abandon his people in difficult times. Time and again, he has stood with the people, celebrated with them, and worked tirelessly to improve their lives.
As we prepare for the next election, let us remember that democracy flourishes when excellence is rewarded. The mandate before us is clear: consolidate the gains already made and empower a tested representative to achieve even greater milestones. Re-electing Rep. Abass Adigun (Agboworin) is not merely a political endorsement; it is a strategic investment in the future of our children, our communities, and our constituency. Ẹ jẹ́ ká tẹ̀síwájú, ká má ṣe dá ìrìn àjò ìdàgbàsókè dúró. Let us stand united, renew the mandate, and move forward with a leader whose record speaks louder than words. The Kairos of continuity is here, and together, we must choose progress once again.
