The Chairman of Senate Committee on Appropriations, Senator Solomon Adeola has said that the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu has broken the jix of 49 years of underdevelopment and marginalization of the Ogun West Senatorial District of Ogun State.
He said different reforms put in place by the president have prevented the nation's economy from collapse.
Adeola stated this while
delivering an address at the third Session of the twelfth Synod of the Diocese of Yewa, Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) with the theme: “The Siege is Broken”, at Ishaga-Orile in Ogun State.
He said, "since his coming back to the Ogun West Senatorial District from Lagos two years ago under the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Tinubu and his complementary delivery of democracy dividends with Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, the people of Yewaland and all parts of Ogun West Senatorial district have witnessed unprecedented infrastructural and socio-economic development.
Adeola, in a statement made available to newsmen in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital, by his Media Adviser, Chief Kayode Odunaro, said, "five years ago, when he was still a senator representing Lagos State, he was invited to chair the second session of the eleventh Synod with the theme: “But They that Wait Upon The Lord” at Ilaro-Yewa, adding that waiting on the Lord by the faithful does pay off in the end as is the case with the people of Ogun West in Ogun State.
“At the time of that Synod in Ilaro, I was the Senator representing Lagos West Senatorial District in Lagos State. It was a trying time that I made efforts to come back home to render service for my people in Yewaland, Ogun West and indeed, Ogun State.
"Today, by the special grace of God Almighty and the votes of the people, I am the Senator representing Ogun West Senatorial District in Ogun State. We waited on the Lord and he answered us in his own time. The waiting is over and in the last two years we can sing “Come and See What the Lord has done” in Yewaland and Ogun West.” he stated.
Reflecting on the scriptural text that informed the theme of the Synod taken from 2 Chronicles 20:15-25, Senator Adeola said "just as the Lord fought for the people of Israel and Judah against a host of powerful and hostile enemies, Almighty God has been fighting for him, the people of Yewaland and Ogun West since he became their senator two years ago, adding that everyone can attest to the tremendous development that the senatorial district and elsewhere has witnessed in the areas of infrastructural development particularly construction of roads, school buildings, healthcare centres, ICT Centres, ultra-modern markets, town halls and Police stations, electricity and solar lights among others.
“Our mega empowerment programmes for our constituents also looks like spoils collected by the Israelites after God destroyed their enemies with reference to 2 Chronicles 20: 25.
"As it is, the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Tinubu is yielding positive results and so far, prevented the economic collapse that faced the nation two years ago. The bold and innovative policies of the President like the removal of oil subsidy, floating of exchange rates, student loan, consumer credit and massive infrastructural development, signing the minimum wage law among others, have positioned the nation’s economy on the path of steady and sustainable growth. And to the glory of God, we are part of the direct beneficiaries of the Renewed Hope Agenda on Infrastructure”, he stated.
While urging the clergy to continue to pray for our nation, our armed forces and all leaders as they seek solutions to the problem of insurgency, kidnappings and other criminal vices assailing our society, Senator Adeola commended the Governor Abiodun for his giant strides in bringing development to the people of the State in general and Yewaland in particular.
He added, “Our people are witnesses to your rehabilitation of structures in the educational and health sectors, the completed housing projects and more importantly road construction and rehabilitation with references to Ilashe-Koko-Alari road in Ipokia, Imasayi-Ayetoro road and ongoing work on Ilaro-Owode road, Afa bridge, Ipokia, Oke Ola road, Imeko, internal road of State Hospital, Ilaro, renovation of State Hospital, Ilaro and the Atan-Lusada-Agbara road among others”
Earlier in his charge at the Synod, the Bishop of Yewa Diocese, The Rt. Reverend Michael Oluwarohunbi said that Senator Adeola infrastructural interventions and empowerment programmes has helped in breaking the siege of Yewaland, adding that the advent of Senator Adeola in the State is God’s answer to the prayers of the people that had changed the narratives.
“There is infrastructural revolution in Yewaland courtesy of Senator Adeola. He has brought the first federal university through his representation to Ogun West, a sign of broken siege” the Bishop stated.
