The candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) for the Ondo State House of Assembly, Owo Constituency 1, Hon. Samuel Eniola Adeyeri, popularly known as ASHAMI, has unveiled his vision for responsible representation, pledging to give the people a strong voice, protect their interests, and redefine leadership as service.
Adeyeri made the declaration in an address outlining his eight-point agenda for quality representation, effective lawmaking, accountability, and community development.
Speaking on Quality Representation, Adeyeri said true representation was not about occupying a seat but about giving the people a voice. He noted that effective representation requires listening to constituents, understanding their challenges, and ensuring their concerns receive appropriate attention.
He stressed that the people of Owo Constituency 1 deserve a representative who sees public office as a responsibility to serve, rather than a privilege to enjoy.
On Effective Lawmaking, the APM candidate said good laws do not merely govern the people but protect their interests and improve their lives. He promised to support policies and propose legislation that promote justice, economic opportunities, social welfare, and sustainable development.
Adeyeri also harped on Accountability and Transparency, saying trust in leadership begins where accountability becomes a priority. He maintained that public trust is built through honesty, openness, and responsible leadership, adding that the people have every right to understand how decisions are made and how public resources are managed.
On Accessible Leadership, he said a true leader does not build walls between himself and the people but builds bridges. He promised an open-door leadership that listens without prejudice, welcomes constructive opinions, and makes every constituent feel valued and respected.
Adeyeri further promised Regular Constituency Engagement through Town Hall Meetings, noting that representation should not end after elections. He said regular town hall meetings, community visits, and continuous communication would keep constituents in Owo Constituency 1 actively involved in conversations about their development and collective future.
Speaking on Advocacy for Youth Development, he said the future of every society depends on how well it invests in its young people. He pledged to champion access to quality education, vocational training, skills acquisition, entrepreneurship, and employment opportunities, as well as meaningful youth participation in decision-making.
On Commitment to Community Development, Adeyeri said development becomes meaningful when its impact is felt in the lives of ordinary people. He promised to advocate for better infrastructure, improved access to essential services, economic opportunities, environmental sustainability, and stronger community welfare across Owo Constituency 1.
He concluded with a promise of Courage to Speak for the People, saying leadership is not measured by the silence of its voice but by the courage to speak when the people need to be heard. He vowed to raise legitimate concerns, question decisions where necessary, and defend democratic values.
Declaring his readiness to serve, Adeyeri said:
> “The people deserve a voice, their interests deserve protection, and leadership must be defined by service.”
He added, “I’m very much ready to serve.”
