The All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for the post of Chairman in Ijebu-North LG, Prince Joseph Ademola Osofodunrin, popularly known as “Allowed”, has donated several boreholes to the different communities in Ijebu-North Local Government of Ogun State.
Speaking with the press recently, “Allowed” said that his decision to provide water for the people of his constituency was motivated by the fact that he cares deeply for them. “I have noticed that getting potable water has been very challenging for the residents of some areas in Ijebu-North. I have thus decided that my team will do these communities a lot of good if we provide them with this essential amenity by digging bore holes at strategic locations”. He said.
“Allowed” stressed that although he is vying for a political post, he did not embark on the water projects for political reasons. According to him, the boreholes, like all other donations before it were borne out of his desire to serve mankind and part with little out of the much God has given him.
The Ijebu-North born politician added that the project is not an individual effort on his part. He then used the opportunity to thank others who threw their financial weight behind him to ensure that it was a success. “The project was made possible by the collective efforts of friends and donors who believe in the course of serving humanity. We truly appreciate what they have done” He said.
Speaking with some members of the community who benefitted from the donation, the press gathered that they were very grateful for the timely efforts of “Allowed” and his team. One of the residents, Mr. Saka Olatunji, a building contractor said “God will continue to bless “Allowed” for this effort. He said by God’s grace, his efforts will not be in vain. This borehole will continue to serve the people of my area, even for years to come.”
Another resident, Mrs Damilare Lamina kept singing the praises of “Allowed”. She prayed for his success in life and in his political sojourn.
