Mr. Yele Omogunwa, senator representing Ondo south senatorial district in the National Assembly has listed his achievements in the last three years.
Mr. Omogunwa said he is not a ‘noise maker’ who do little things, then publicise it to the world.
“For the first time in the history of Senators representing Ondo South Senatorial district, I decided to make sure that I have impact amongst the communities, especially the agrarian and rural communities in the Southern senatorial district. I raised some money, through loan and my salary, I have been able to purchase a Grader worth N43 million and grading every community free of charge.
“Doing this for my people gives me great Joy. I pay my workers, I pay those operator and the people working on the gradder monthly. The grader has worked in four local governments starting with Ileoluji/Okeigbo local government. Although we didn’t accomplish our target there because of the uncompromising stands of some people that feels that we are not part of them.
“We have been working virtually in all the local government because we feel for the rural duellars. These farmers have no roads to transport their goods to the market place. When you get to those places, you will be sorry for our farmer. During campaign and elections, we would approach them, convince them in other to secure their votes without bringing the dividends back to them.
“There are other things I have been able to do since I was elected to the eight Senate, I have facilitated employment for more than Ten people even when they will not say it out. I have used my influence even when my son has no job.
“We have given empowerment three times, giving out 200 motorcycles, sowing machines, about 500 pieces of guinea and Ankara to about 500 women. We have given stipends of N30, 000. 00 each to about 36 widows in the senatorial district during the empowerment. We gave out several bags of cements to atleast 13 Schools. We have given out text books on mathematics in their thousands to JSS 3 students anchored by ANCOPS in the Senatorial District. We have been able to give out three engine boats of about 200 horse power each. We have been able to do all these things and many others that we can point at, ” he said in an interview published by www.richienews.com.
When asked about his next move as 2019 election is around the corner, the senator said, “I have not started to dot my I’s nor cross my T’s because I need to watch carefully and follow developments. Of recent, the party executives from the national to ward level has tenureship challenges.
“So we need to be careful on how we go about some issues of ambition. That’s why I said I have not started. At least there is no guildine from the party. I should wait for the guildine of the party before the implementation of any action plan.”
Mr. Omogunwa advised people of his constituency to be in unity, come closer to whoever is representing them and ask questions.
