Oluyole Federal Constituency: Akande-Sadipe Dedicates Victory To Late Mother, Constituents

Hon. Tolulope Akande-Sadipe has dedicated her re-election to represent Oluyole Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives under the All Progressives Congress (APC) after the supplementary election of Saturday April 15, 2023, to her late mother, Princess Bamidele Abiose Akande and the entire people of the constituency.

In an appreciation speech after her declaration as the winner of the election, the lawmaker said, “Today I dedicate this victory to God Almighty, my late mother, my husband and my family, who have sacrificed a lot to allow me do this. I dedicate this to all the leaders of the APC, who stood by me and residents of Oluyole Federal Constituency”.

Akande-Sadipe, who is currently in the Federal House of Representatives, reaffirmed her commitment to deliver more dividends of democracy to her constituency.

While pledging to rededicate herself to the service of the people, Tolulope Akande-Sadipe stated that she will ensure that more gains of democracy are brought to Oluyole.

She expressed optimism that serving as a House of Representatives member in the administration of President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu means good-tidings for her constituency.

Akande-Sadipe contested under the APC, and polled 14,891 votes to defeat her closest rival, Mogbonjubola Olawale Mojeed of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who polled 13, 073 votes.

She said, “My dear people of Oluyole Federal Constituency, permit me to thank God for this victory. I almost gave-up, and lost hope, but you stood by me.

“I appreciate all the residents of the constituency for the show of solidarity and love as was seen and exhibited during the February 25, 2023 election and this supplementary election.”

She added, “This victory looked like such an impossible task, especially after what happened during the first election, and then my mother died. I could not see my mother, because I was trying to protect my mandate.

“As I have been re-elected to serve you in Abuja, I will put in my very best to push our cause before the House to ensure that the dividends of democracy and opportunities available to my office reach my constituency,” she said.
