“…Hon. Adewale Olatunji Murphy brings a formidable capacity and readiness to sustain the caliber of representation Ibadan North deserves, poised to honour and elevate Hon. Jagaban’s legacy with renewed vigour…” AKK States
In the coming week, the esteemed electorate of Ibadan North Federal Constituency will cast their ballots to determine their representative in the Federal House of Representatives, a decision precipitated by the shocking demise of Hon. Prince Olaide Adewale Akinremi (Jagaban), on July 14, 2024, who graced that office with exemplary leadership and representation. Like other wellmeaning members of our great party, I extend my deepest sympathies to the constituency for this profound loss, and I acknowledge Hon. Jagaban’s distinguished tenure that enriched our party’s legacy. This rerun election presents an opportunity to uphold his ideals, and I stand in solidarity with my fellow party members to ensure a seamless transition of excellence. It is with great pride that I lend my voice to this very important moment.
No doubt, Hon. Akinremi Jagaban was a paragon of constituency-focused leadership, a statesman whose tenure prioritised the upliftment of Ibadan North with unwavering dedication. His initiatives, which extend to infrastructure development, advancing education, and safeguarding the welfare of his constituents, reflected a commitment to their aspirations. He was a pillar of unity who bridged divides and championed the marginalised, earning the reverence of all who knew his work. Though his sudden departure has left a void, his legacy of service and passion endures as an inspiration to us within the APC to seek a successor who mirrors his noble vision and zeal for progress.
In the wake of this all, leadership vacuum is untenable, and I am convinced that Hon. Akinremi Olaide Jagaban would have endorsed a successor that embodies his ideological fervour and dedication. The APC has wisely presented Hon. Adewale Olatunji Murphy as our candidate for the rerun election, a choice, I believe, sits with the values Jagaban held dear; passion, commitment, and an unyielding work ethic. As a party stalwart, I view this nomination as a strategic move to perpetuate the constituency’s advancement, ensuring that Hon. Murphy’s leadership continues the trajectory of excellence Jagaban established. This election is a revelation of our collective resolve to maintain APC’s stronghold.
Hon. Adewale Olatunji Murphy brings a formidable capacity and readiness to sustain the caliber of representation Ibadan North deserves, poised to honour and elevate Hon. Jagaban’s legacy with renewed vigour. His preparation and deep commitment to the constituency’s welfare position him as a worthy steward, dedicated to amplifying the progress already achieved. I implore the electorate to turn out en masse to secure his victory and safeguard the constituency from regression that could arise from entrusting its future to others. A departure from APC’s vision would jeopardise the growth and prosperity of Ibadan North, and I urge all to rally behind Hon. Murphy to preserve our party’s legacy.
Ahead of this decisive election, I urge the people of Ibadan North to uphold the law, mobilise in great numbers, and cast their votes decisively for Hon. Adewale Olatunji Murphy of the APC, while vigilantly protecting the integrity of their ballots. This is a moment to prioritise the constituency’s advancement and pay homage to the illustrious legacy of Hon. Jagaban. I offer my unparalleled support to Hon. Murphy and call upon all party faithful and influencers to unite in mobilising for his triumph. By God’s grace, we shall secure this victory.
