Tola Banjo : The perfect piece to the jigsaw of Ijebu Central Federal Constituency developmental yearnings
There are three fundamental principles in choosing a leader, especially when it comes to a country like Nigeria. Character, capacity, and energy are the most essential ingredients in picking a 21st century leader.
This simply means that a leader in Africa’s most populous nation is expected to be a paragon of integrity, and a high flyer whose capacity in politics and public affairs must transcend both the state and federal government.
Nigeria also needs a leader that exudes energy and resourcefulness to drive the dividends of democracy to the people. And having someone like Rt. Hon. Tola Banjo whose revolve around the aforementioned qualities in Ijebu Central Federal Constituency for House of representatives in the 2023 election must be the collective efforts of all.
It is no longer a hidden secret that the previous members representing the Ijebu-Ode, Odogbolu and Ijebu North East Federal constituency in the green chamber of the National Assembly has for a long time been something of a delightfully bland euphemism for ceremonial leadership in managing the affairs of the people, as they were people lacking in capacity and ability to inspire the needed change and give to the people what they truly desired and yearned for in terms of growth and development.
Tola Banjo’s public service records speaks volume. This is a man whose reformative mind transformed a large part of Senator Ibikunle Amosun’s administration as the executive governor of Ogun State between the year 2011 to 2019.
He is a man who commands more respect in the State political clime than most of his counterparts. If given the chance, He will be the perfect piece to the jigsaw of a government that is in dire need of a reformative swagger, particularly in his immediate community.
Rt. Hon Tola Banjo is a political outlier and a pragmatic personality that can hardly go missing in the business of statecraft. It is these leadership qualities that made him share a close connection with his political mentor and former governor of Ogun State, Ibikunle Amosun during that dispensation.
The people of Ijebu-Ode/Odogbolu/Ijebu North East Federal constituency must use the 2023 general elections to point out that they do not need a manager, it needs a leader, and It perforce follows that for over a decade, the tradition of non-performing attributes has pervaded largely the position of the bearer of their House of representatives slot in Abuja by rally round a proven performer with both capabilities and abilities to deliver in the person of Rt. Hon. Tola Banjo.
