An aspirant for the Ijebu Central Federal Constituency of Ogun State, Adetomiwa Adetilewa, has said Nigerians are tired of empty words and are demanding real solutions, pledging to deliver jobs, youth empowerment, and inclusive development if elected.

Adetilewa said his vision is to transform Ijebu Central into a model constituency and a hub of commercial activity, where businesses can thrive and residents have access to meaningful employment.

Speaking to stakeholders, he said, “we will create an environment where young people can find meaningful employment, where businesses can grow, and where everyone has a fair chance to succeed”.

The aspirant outlined plans to remove systemic barriers and empower individuals to realise their potential, noting that the constituency could become a benchmark for others across the country.

His words: “People will look at Ijebu Central and ask how it was achieved. The answer will be simple: we empowered people and created opportunities,” he stated, emphasising that representation must go beyond rhetoric.

“Representation is about giving people a voice, and I intend to be one that not only speaks but acts,” he added.

On inclusion, Adetilewa criticised ongoing debates over women’s leadership roles as outdated, asserting that the challenge lies not in capability but in systemic and societal barriers.

“The issue is not capability but fairness. We must remove the legal and social limitations that hinder women from reaching their full potential,” he said, calling for societal shifts and education to eliminate everyday practices that marginalise women.

Regarding persons living with disabilities, the aspirant advocated for targeted legislative action and accessible public infrastructure.

“It is unacceptable that public buildings are not accessible. Individuals with disabilities should not have to depend on others to navigate basic facilities,” he said, stressing that anti-discrimination laws must be strictly enforced in employment.

Adetilewa also highlighted plans to address unemployment through a comprehensive database of job seekers in the constituency and skills development programmes, including training for digital and remote jobs.

“I will ensure that my office serves as a bridge between the people and available opportunities at the federal level,” he said.

He further pledged engagement with federal agencies to secure fair representation for constituents in employment and development initiatives.

On his political platform, he said delivering results transcends party lines, adding that regardless of party, what matters is improving people’s lives and creating an enabling environment for success.

Expressing confidence ahead of the 2027 elections, Adetilewa said growing support across political divides reflects Nigerians’ frustration with unfulfilled promises.

“Nigerians are tired of empty words. They want real solutions, and they are ready to support anyone who offers them,” he said, stressing the urgency of action to secure a better future for the next generation.

“This is about salvaging our future and ensuring that those coming after us inherit a better society,” he added.
