Anglican Bishop Says Adeola Yayi Has Broken The Yoke of Underdevelopment in Yewa-Awori Land
The Bishop of Yewa Diocese, Rt. Reverend Michael Oluwarohunbi, has described Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, the Chairman of Senate Committee on Appropriation as the man that God has used to break the yoke of underdevelopment in Yewa-Awori land. Oluwarohunbi stated this on Sunday at the third session of the 12th synod, Diocese of Yewa held at Rev. Fry Memorial Anglican Church, Ishaga-Orile, in Abeokuta North Local Government Area of Ogun State
The Clergyman said the Senator representing Ogun West, Adeola who is fondly called Yayi has turned around the fortune of Yewa- Awori people through unprecedented facilitation of infrastructure to the Senatorial District. He said the people of Ogun West have not had this type of beneficial representation since the creation of the state in 1976.
“Your strides are not just developmental but transformational. You have restored the hope of our people that indeed, you are God sent to liberate us from our past state of neglect and underdevelopment.
“Your bold, people-first approach bas rekindled the hopes of many, raised the bar of legislative excellence, and positioned Ogun West and Yewaland as a shining model of purposeful and quality representation and leadership.
“Yayi is evidence of a broken siege through his intervention projects in Yewaland. The coming of Senator Yayi into the political space of Ogun West and Ogun State at large may be viewed as many of those things that happened in politics, but you will understand that it is an evidence of answered prayer and curse broken by his uncommon human touch to Yewaland”, the Bishop stated.
While delivering his address with the theme: “The siege is broken” Adeola said that since his coming back home from Lagos two years ago under the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Tinubu and his complementary delivery of democracy dividends with Governor Dapo Abiodun, the Yewa-Awori people and all parts of the Senatorial district have witnessed unprecedented infrastructural and socio-economic development.
He recalled with some nostalgia an invitation to a similar event about five years ago in Ilaro, when he was still a senator representing Lagos State, where he chaired the Second Session of the 11th Synod.
“At the time of that Synod in Ilaro, I was the Senator representing Lagos West Senatorial District in Lagos State. It was a trying time that I made efforts to come back home to render service for my people in Yewaland, Ogun West and indeed, Ogun State. Today, by the special grace of God Almighty and the votes of the people, I am the Senator representing Ogun West Senatorial District in Ogun State. We waited on the Lord and he answered us in his own time”.
Reflecting on the scriptural text that informed the theme of the Synod taken from 2 Chronicles 20:15-25, Senator Adeola said that just as the Lord fought for the people of Israel and Judah against a host of powerful and hostile enemies, Almighty God has been fighting for him, the people of Yewaland and Ogun West since he became their senator two years ago adding that everyone can attest to the tremendous development that the senatorial district and elsewhere has witnessed in the areas of infrastructural development particularly construction of roads, school buildings, healthcare centres, ICT Centres, ultra-modern markets, town halls and Police Stations, electricity and solar lights among others.
“Our mega empowerment programmes for our constituents also looks like spoils collected by the Israelites after God destroyed their enemies with reference to 2 Chronicles 20: 25. As it is, the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Tinubu is yielding positive results and so far, prevented the economic collapse that faced the nation two years ago. The bold and innovative policies of the President like the removal of oil subsidy, floating of exchange rates, student loan, consumer credit and massive infrastructural development, signing the minimum wage law among others, have positioned the nation’s economy on the path of steady and sustainable growth. And to the Glory of God, we are part of the direct beneficiaries of the Renewed Hope Agenda on Infrastructure”.
Adeola added that just as the Lord fought for the people of Israel and Judah against a host of powerful and hostile enemies, Almighty God has been fighting for him, the people of Yewaland and Ogun West since he became their senator two years ago adding that everyone can attest to the tremendous development that the senatorial district and elsewhere has witnessed in the areas of infrastructural development particularly construction of roads, school buildings, healthcare centres, ICT Centres, ultra-modern markets, town halls and Police Stations, electricity and solar lights among others.
