Ondo: Constituents Threaten To Recall Senator Over Alleged Non-Performance
Constituents threaten to recall senator over alleged non-performance . Mr Eniafe accused Mr Ipinsagba of misrepresentation and failure to prioritise the empowerment and development of youths in his area.
Constituents of Senator Jide Ipinsagba representing Ondo North Senatorial District in the National Assembly have threatened to recall him over alleged non-performance and failure to execute any meaningful projects in the constituency.
The constituents, under the aegis of Ondo North Youth Alliance, accused Mr Ipinsagba of not attending to the development and needs of the constituency since his inauguration to represent the axis two years ago.
The constituents, who threatened to commence the mobilising of registered voters’ signatures in the senatorial district to initiate the recall process of Mr Ipinsagba, also accused the federal lawmaker of being insensitive to the rising insecurity caused by cultists in Ondo North, particularly Owo town.
Addressing journalists in Akure, the leader of the constituents, Ojo Eniafe, alleged that the senator had been inaccessible since his inauguration.
Mr Eniafe accused Mr Ipinsagba of misrepresentation and failure to prioritise the empowerment and development of youths in his area.
“If the senator (Ipinsagba) fails to deliver the dividends of democracy, we are fully resolved to initiate a recall process for the senator within the confines of the law. This is not an empty threat. In Ondo North Senatorial District, we have over 500,000 youths who are united under this leadership to ensure progress and accountability. If the senator refuses to change, we will take the necessary steps to remove him from office,” he said on Monday.
He stated that Mr Ipinsagba should immediately address some of the challenges confronting the people of the Ondo North.
Stating that some of the problems confronting the constituents included insecurity, youth inclusiveness, and underperformance, Mr Eniafe said Mr Ipinsagba should show signs of responsibility to his constituents.
“The senator’s silence on these issues is deafening and shows his lack of concern and care about the welfare and safety of his constituents. As youths, we are tired of living in fear and uncertainty. We demand that Senator Ipinsagba show a modicum of responsibility to the wishes and aspirations of our senatorial district by playing a pivotal role and collaborating with institutions to ensure that his constituents are safe.
“A little show of concern can be the deal breaker. We are poised to ensure that our communities, local government, and the entire senatorial district are safe and secure,” he added.

Efforts by newsmen to reach Mr Ipinsagba to comment on the allegations were futile but one of his aides who spoke on condition of anonymity said that the lawmaker’s scorecard was in the public for all to see.
“The scorecard of the senator is in the public domain. We don’t want to join issues with our constituents as some of them are being sponsored, but we will reply to them at an appropriate time,” he said.

Ondo Former PDP Leaders Emerge ADC Chair, Organising Secretary
Tola Alabere, former caretaker chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo state, has emerged as the chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) at the congress of the party.
Dare Akinwale, PDP’s former organising secretary, also emerged as the ADC’s organising secretary.
Others who emerged include Ola Amure, as legal adviser, Kunle Adeloye, as secretary, and Bobby Omotoso are the deputy chairman.
Kehinde Agboola, chairman of the national convention committee, who supervised the exercise, said the process “adhered precisely to the constitution of the party and the Electoral Act”.
Agboola said that the ward and local government congresses had been concluded earlier, which paved the way for the state congress and strengthened the party’s structure ahead of future elections.
He blamed the All Progressives Congress (APC) for attempting to weaken opposition parties.
“We are aware of the intrigues of the APC to run down the opposition. That is their style in Lagos State. They ran down the opposition and empowered themselves. The resistance of the APC showed that ADC is on its way to victory,” he said.

“This government came as if they had better alternatives. They removed subsidies from petroleum products and taxed everything, including childbirth. The loan this government has taken in the last two years is more than all loans taken by the previous administration in this fourth Republic.”
Speaking on behalf of the newly elected executives, Alabere stressed that their duty is to deliver the state to ADC in the next general election.
He vowed to work with other members to make the party a household name in the state.
