The All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial candidate for the Osun East Senatorial District, Ajibola Famurewa, has promised to sponsor bills and move motions that would alleviate poverty and improve the living conditions of the people of his constituency, particularly the Ijesa land, if elected in the February 16 National Assembly election.
Famurewa made the promise, at the weekend, in Obokun, the headquarters of Ibokun Local Government Area of Osun State to herald the commencement of his campaigns ahead of the poll.
“We shall continue to drive people-oriented programmes by expanding the scope of vision for modification to cater for more beneficiaries.
“I shall run an all-inclusive and transparent representation that will give all equal leverage to access the full complements of the National Assembly.”

He also promised to use his experience of the last eight years as a member of the House of Representatives to “buffer workable solutions confronting Nigeria and Nigerians in the area of law making and legislation in the areas of youth employment, engagement, empowerment, expansion of vocational institute for training, financial grant for farmers, traders and artisans, bursary and scholarships for tertiary institution students, provision of basic social amenities, medical outreach, regular consultation.
“I shall sponsor bills and motions that will have direct impact on the socio- economic lives of our people in all the 10 LGAs that make up Ife-Ijesa Senatorial District,” he stressed.
In fulfilling these promises, Famurewa said he would focus on youth employment, engagement and empowerment, expansion of vocational institute to train the unemployed, financial grant for traders, farmers and artisans, scholarship and bursary grants for students in tertiary institutions, provision of basic amenities to communities, medical outreach to the local government areas and facilitate Federal Government intervention projects into the community.
“I am more particularly concerned about the elevation of our senatorial status for the benefit of all to advance peace, unity, progress and development that will make our state, Osun, the best in the South West and Nigeria at large,” he said.
Famurewa, however, reeled out the achievements of the APC- controlled Federal Government in which he is a strong contributor through his membership of the National Assembly.
He assured that if elected, he would tread the same path of achievements and perform creditably to the satisfaction of his people.
