A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and an Osogbo, Osun State based legal practitioner, Tiamiyu Sule Adegboyega, has joined the race for Osun State House of Assembly, saying, “Osun State belongs to the APC.”
The Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) graduate of law turned politician told Saturday Telegraph that, “law interpretation has relevance with law making,” asserting that he wishes “to bring legislative policy closer to my constituency if afforded the opportunity to serve.”
According to him, the existing laws in the state are largely received from the old Oyo State and no longer apt to the modern legislative trends, and as such need facelift.
“Assembly in Osun State needs to live up to a better legislative function, apart from the oversight duties that will enhance positive co-existence and harmony in the state.”
The 56-year-old aspirant, who wants to represent Olorunda State Constituency, is not new to law making as he was elected as a councillor and Leader of the House at Olorunda Local Government, Igbona in Osogbo between 1990 and 1993.
“That period signalled the beginning of my involvement in active politics,” he said.
Adegboyega, who currently practice his profession at Adewale Afolabi & Co. Chambers in Osogbo, disclosed that he is already consulting with the people within his constituency to sample their views on his intention to give them robust representation in the state assembly.
