The sudden passing of Hon. Akinremi Olaide (Jagaban), God rest his soul, has left a void in the Ibadan North Federal constituency, necessitating a successor who not only fills the gap but surpasses the late lawmaker’s achievements. The ideal candidate must demonstrate a commitment to building upon the past while innovating for the future.
To effectively represent the constituency, the next representative must be loyal to the party leadership, understanding and committed to its ideology and values. Youthfulness, in both age and mindset, is crucial for this role. The representative must be in touch with their constituents’ needs and aspirations, possessing a fresh perspective and innovative ideas to address community challenges.
Financial stability and agility are vital for effective representation. The candidate must be financially buoyant, able to navigate financial statements with ease, and independent of external support. This ensures unbiased decision-making.
The representative must be a good party person and grassroots-oriented, with a deep understanding of community needs and a commitment to serving their constituents. They must listen, engage, and deliver on their promises.
On a concluding note of this article, the next representative for Ibadan North local government Federal constituency must be a youthful, financially stable, loyal, and grassroots-oriented individual. Anything less would be a disservice to Hon. Akinremi Olaide Jagaban’s memory and the people he served.
