​2019 Poll: I will Ensure Qualitative Representation If Elected, MKO’s Daughter Vow

Saheed Adeola , Abeokuta

The Action Democratic Party (ADP) candidate for Abeokuta North/Obafemi- Owode/Odeda Federal Constituency, Miss kareemat Aderinsola Abiola says her experience as a staff of the Federal House of Representatives has placed her on the path of provision of qualitative representation of her constituents.
Abiola who made this known while speaking with newsmen in Abeokuta said she knows the legislative procedures already and as a result will not have to begin to learn if elected.
She said “I have everything it takes to provide a qualitative representation for my people, I have worked in the house for three years, I know about the legislative procedures and law making, I don’t need to go and learn again it is what I have already known, am up to the task.
“I already know about oversight, I already know about lawmaking.
She described the condition of her constituents as “nothing to write home about”, noting that they suffer poor electricity supply, bad roads, poor health care and dilapidated classrooms, among others.
Abiola said she will fight for all these challenges facing her constituents if elected.
She added that representation goes beyond telling people what they want to hear, according to her it is about having a commitment to improve the plight of the people.
She said “I’ve also been to a community within the constituency in Abeokuta North, Odeda and I have seen how our people lives, I have seen the kind of things they need, representation goes beyond telling people what they want to hear, it’s about having a commitment to improve the plight of the people and bringing about live of life and that’s why I have choosing to run for the office.
She added “As a legislator my duty will bother on lawmaking, ensuring that Federal government budget money for my people   and I will also  try to draw federal government attention to infrastructural deficits  and try to get legislative intervention in area I can at least draw federal attention to.”
She continued by saying “We have a lot of young people who are unemployed, there is nothing stopping one of our legislators from proposing youths center that focuses on skills acquisition.
“Technology for instance, it’s a field that is dominated by young people, why are we giving contracts to Microsoft? To foreign companies when we have lot of young Nigerians, why can’t we be doing something about entertainment? It’s essentially driven by young people, they need law, they need government intervention, they need something to protect their intellectual work, they need a lot of support from government, why can’t we push for this thing?”
“I’ve also been into rural communities, a large part of my constituency is rural, it is these rural communities that will need more attention for infrastructural development, the people in rural areas are also citizens, they also vote, they also require government attention. Give them health center, work on their roads, it’s going to help our farmers with the movement of their produce.”
