The Accord Party candidate for Obokun/Oriade Federal Constituency in Osun State, Pelumi Olajengbesi, has said the politics of the federal constituency is changing, with people’s collective will now overriding money and individual influence in elections.
Olajengbesi, in a statement on his Facebook page on Sunday, said leadership should be seen first as a responsibility before it becomes a position.
Reflecting on a decade of grassroots engagement, the Accord candidate recalled that the journey began with limited political capacity but strong determination.
He said, “Leadership is first a responsibility before it becomes a position. My greatest preparation for public service has been understanding the needs of our people, our struggles and our hopes.
“Something important is changing in the politics of Oriade/Obokun Federal Constituency. Winning elections is no longer about the money, influence or strength of one individual. The real strength now belongs to the people.
“Some ten years ago, we lacked the political capacity, but we possessed the will. As young people, we moved from community to community, serving in our little ways and giving people hope of a better future”.
Olajengbesi expressed confidence that the coming election will reflect that change, describing it as a defining moment for the constituency.
“I believe this will be the defining story of the coming election, a victory that will not belong to any individual, but to the great people of Ijesa North,” he added.
