“ I AM HOME AT AKURE, AS AN INDIGENE” EBISENI TELLS AKURE SOUTH DELEGATES.
It was a glorious homecoming, as PDP leaders and delegates of Akure South Local Government received the leading aspirant of the party, Chief Olusola Nehemiah Ebiseni in continuation of his messages to stakeholders in the forthcoming Ondo State gubernatorial election. Addressing the delegates, Chief Ebiseni said he had acquired the status of a foremost Akure indigene, having lived in the city more than 25 years of his adult life, where he practices law, raised his children, who all attended schools in the city.
He traced his political relationship with the Akure people to the early 1991 when, as the Chairman of the former Ilaje/Ese Odo Local Government, he was the Coordinator of the Presidential campaigns of Chief Olu Falae in his Council area, a role he also repeated in 1999 during the 1999 Presidential campaigns of the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation and foremost Akure indigene.
The three times Commissioner for Environment and Mineral Resources in the State recalled his contributions to the development of the State and the capital city of Akure in particular, which earned Akure the status of the cleanest capital city in the South West, and massive channelisation of the Ala River which saved the city from perennial flooding.
Having learnt at the feet of giants in the 30 years of political engagements in the State, Ebiseni who was also a federal government delegate from the South West to the 2014 National Conference, promised to leverage on his experience to develop the economy of the State, including enhancing the status of Akure as a most befitting State capital.
Encomium were poured on Chief Ebiseni by leaders of the party including Mr. Ayo Fadaka, a former South West Publicity Secretary of the party who described Ebiseni as a patriotic party man who had delivered on several party assignments without betraying the party.
Reacting on behalf of other leaders and delegates, Ambassador Omolade Oluwateru, a former Deputy Governor, described Ebiseni as a brilliant and thoroughbred grassroots politician with superb credentials to lead the State at this time.
