As tourists, when travelling we say, “The hands that serve are holier than the lips that pray,” we simply mean that if a man wants to worship Almighty God, he can do so more effectively by serving the poor and needy.
As a result, we must treat all living things with equal respect and make every effort to assist our fellow humans. Serving the people is equal to serving Almighty God.
Hon Abass Adigun, who represents Ibadan North-East/South-East Federal Constituency in the National Assembly, is one lawmaker who never ceases to amaze his constituents. ABASS ADIGUN’S case is one of a never-ending desire to serve the good people of IBADAN NORTH-EAST/SOUTH-EAST FEDERAL CONSTITUENCY.
Critics are quick to question whether it is not his responsibility to look out for the interests of the people he was elected to represent. True, but leaders are created rather than born. And, like everything else, they are created through hard work.
AGBOWORIN is a remarkable legislator who has earned the respect of his constituents through his patriotic service. Abass Agboworin is one legislator who thinks beyond the rhetoric of serving his constituents for personal aggrandisement or ill will.
Other lawmakers, for example, are equally involved in skill acquisition for their constituents; in fact, this is common among these federal lawmakers as it may be a means to manipulate the public that they are performing. Agboworin, on the other hand, has not only launched a series of empowerment programs for his constituents, but he has also built SIX BLOCK OF CLASSROOMS at Nuru Islamiyat School, Osungbade Molete, Ward 11, Ibadan South-East LG and St PAUL ANGLICAN SCHOOL YANBULE, Beside General Gas Flyover Bridge, Ward 11 Ibadan North-East LG for people in his constituency as infrastructure supports in education.
