The Minority Leader of the Ogun State House of assembly, Hon Lukmon Olalekan Adeleye has donated a 500 kva transformer to the people of Ikoto Community, in Odogbolu Local Government Area of the State, in fulfillment of his promise during the electioneering period.
Hon. Adeleye said our society would be better if public office holders continually strived to develop and meet the needs of the people.
The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) lawmaker said that though the donation was a personal effort and the challenges in the constituency were enormous, assuring that he would continue to do his best to serve the people.
According to him, “this is in line with my policy of ‘promise made, promise kept’. I am always sad each time I visit the community because of the total darkness, which usually pervades the area”
He explained that, in one of his campaign engagements, he promised to restore the community to the national grid if elected. “Though this project costs me a little over 8 million naira, to God be the glory, I have fulfilled that promise with a 500 kva transformer.
“It has always been on my mind and I am happy today as I mark my 100 days in office, which coincidentally falls with the birth of Prophet Mohammed (SAW) that I am putting back the community on the national electricity grid” the Minority Leader said.
The community head of Ikoto, Chief Olugbenga Adebanjo, who was joined by residents of the area, could not hide their joy while expressing appreciation to the legislator.
He explained that many’save our soul’ letters were written to the state government and the former legislator representing Odogbolu, Hon Atinuke Bello, which did not yield any positive result.
It would be recalled that Hon. Adeleye had sponsored life impacting resolutions at the State Assembly, while he recently empowered 50 young people with cash gifts to aid their small-scale business in commemoration of the world international youth day.
