The lawmaker representing Iseyin/Itesiwaju/Kajola/Iwajowa federal constituency and Accord senatorial candidate for Oyo North, Hon Shina Peller, has said he is on a rescue mission to liberate the people of Oke-Ogun from oppressive regime.
Hon Peller made this known in Iseyin while speaking at the distribution of cash palliative ranging from N10, 000-N50,000 to no fewer than 3,000 ageing and widows in his constituency
The lawmaker stressed that in doing this, he will continue to be empowering his people rather than engaging in vote buying in the 2023 general elections, saying, the donations became necessary to show how much he appreciated the people’s support and loyalty over the years.
Stressing that some politicians will rather keep their money to buy votes during the 2023 elections, Hon Peller maintained that he preferred empowering his people when it is needed.
“We are on rescue mission, we want to liberate our people from continuous domination from few people, Oke-Ogun have 10 local governments, while Ogbomoso with 3 local governments has been dominating us for long,” he said.
Hon Peller added that he “decided to empower the majority of my followers, the people of my constituency, not only four local governments I am presently representing but all the 13 local governments that make Oyo North senatorial district, where I am contesting under Accord in 2023.
“I believe so much in giving back to the people, I believe so much in empowering my people most especially at a time they needed it. The happier you make your people, the closer you are to them. This cash empowerment is for aged and widows, and this is not the first time, we did it during the COVID-19.”
