A young but veteran politician Adeeyo Isaac Adegbite has declared interest in representing Ogbomoso North state constituency in the Oyo State House of Assembly come 2027.

Popularly called “Eyo,” Adegbite, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said in a statement that he was motivated to seek the position because of his desire to offer better representation for the people of the local government having lived among them all his life.

Eyo averred it is high time people who were brought from outside and do not know the suffering and needs of the locals, stopped occupying such a position.

He affirmed he would be committed to promoting the interest of his constituents in the House and constantly engage the state government on how to change the narrative of the council area.

Adegbite who was a student unionist at the Obafemi Awolowo University Ile-Ife, stressed he had requisite experience having taught in public secondary schools in Oyo state, worked in the Oyo state Ministry of Establishment and Training and as an academic in an institution of higher learning, while emphasising the need to support an “home grown candidate.”

His declaration speech:

“I, Adegbite Isaac Adeeyo from Sabi/Taraa ward nine in Ogbomoso North Local Government passionately wish to inform the general public of my desire to contest for the Ogbomoso North State Constituency under the PDP in 2027.

“Our ambition hinges on our deep rooted understanding of the needs and challenges of the Council. The Local Government is too important to be left in the care of political importees, our morbid desire for impactful representation and the need to promote the interest of our people to the State Government are motivating factors which shall continue to encourage me not to falter.

“Your support towards achieving these noble goals will be appreciated. Having worked as a public secondary school teacher for several years, worked as an administrator under the Oyo state ministry and as an academician in a tertiary institution l have gained the needed exposure and experience to understand the needs of our people and being on the same wavelength with them.

“I had witnessed the needs of the students, challenges of an average citizen and the desires of several undergraduate students.

“This is the right time to support a home grown candidate with the right concepts, philosophy and orientation which I clearly represent.”

Eyo is a social crusader, a people’s advocate who hails from the famous Olukumopa compound of Taraa Ogbomoso.
