…rallies support for APC ahead of governorship elections
The Executive Chairman of Atakumosa East Local Government, Hon. (Princess) Folusho Adekoya, has empowered no fewer than 1,500 constituents through a comprehensive poverty alleviation scheme aimed at improving livelihoods across the council area.
The initiative, which provided cash grants, targeted a wide range of beneficiaries including women, youths, the aged, artisans, members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), motorcycle operators, and other community groups.
Speaking at the event held in Iperindo, headquarters of Atakumosa East LGA, Hon. Adekoya emphasized that the empowerment programme reflects the commitment of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to grassroots development and economic inclusion. She also used the opportunity to rally continued support for the APC ahead of the forthcoming governorship elections.
Commending the initiative, Hon. Israel Ajibola Famurewa, Hon. Femi Kujembola, the State Treasurer of the APC, and other key stakeholders who spoke at the event described the programme as a strategic intervention capable of significantly improving the socio-economic wellbeing of beneficiaries while strengthening public confidence in the APC.
They noted that the essence of local government autonomy is to ensure that people at the grassroots directly benefit from the dividends of democracy and good governance, adding that the Adekoya-led administration in Atakumosa East is clearly demonstrating this through impactful initiatives.
The well-attended programme drew notable leaders and stakeholders of the APC from within and beyond the local government.
