Why APC Leaders and Members Must Consider Hon. Adebola Shakirat Adetunji (ASHAD) as the Best Candidate for Ibadan North East/South East Federal Constituency
As political activities gradually gather momentum, leaders and members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) must place priority on competence, compassion, popularity, and proven service when considering who should fly the party’s flag for the Ibadan North East/South East Federal Constituency.
At this important moment, one name continues to stand out through visible achievements, grassroots acceptance, and humanitarian service — Hon. Adebola Shakirat Adetunji, popularly known as ASHAD.
Her years of consistent empowerment, social interventions, and direct support to the people make her a strong and credible choice for the constituency.
Leadership Beyond Political Office
What makes Hon. ASHAD’s story exceptional is that she has achieved tremendous impact without holding any political office. While many wait for elective positions before serving the people, she has chosen to serve humanity first through her personal resources, compassion, and commitment to the welfare of ordinary citizens.
This is a practical demonstration of true leadership.
Proven Humanitarian Service Since 2006
Her journey of service dates back to 2006, when she served as a Corps Member at the Oyo State House of Assembly. Since then, she has remained steadfast in helping the needy, supporting party members, and uplifting non-partisan citizens across communities.
Massive Empowerment Programmes
Her empowerment records are commendable and life-transforming:
Over 550 youths and women empowered with ₦250,000 each
More than 250 youths and women further empowered with ₦200,000 each plus POS machines to start their POS businesses
Over 120 elderly men and women supported with ₦500,000 each
More than 30 youths sponsored to secure UK work visas
25 party members sponsored to Saudi Arabia and Jerusalem in 2025/2026
These interventions have helped many beneficiaries become financially independent and self-reliant.
Commitment to Education
Hon. ASHAD remains passionate about education and youth development:
Over 750 students benefited from her free JAMB forms initiative
This support created opportunities for many brilliant but indigent students to pursue higher education.
Free Healthcare and Medical Support
One of the most compassionate aspects of her service is in the area of healthcare. Hon. ASHAD has provided:
Free healthcare programmes for the people
Free surgeries/operations for elderly men, women, and young people with health challenges
Free eye tests and free glasses for individuals with eyesight problems
Medical support for vulnerable persons who could not afford treatment
This clearly shows that she values the health and wellbeing of the people.
Community Development Projects
Across the constituency, her developmental footprints are visible through:
Installation of boreholes for clean water supply
Installation of solar street lights to improve security and community life
These projects continue to improve the living conditions of residents.
Why Some Opponents Resort to Propaganda
It is common in politics that when a candidate rises through genuine popularity, visible achievements, and public goodwill, some less impactful aspirants may become intimidated.
Rather than showcase their own records, they sometimes resort to blackmail, misinformation, and poor propaganda. However, no amount of propaganda can erase visible achievements or diminish years of service to humanity.
The people know those who have truly stood by them.
Why APC Must Consider ASHAD
If APC truly seeks victory and quality representation, the party should consider candidates with:
Proven grassroots support
Strong humanitarian record
Youth and women empowerment credentials
Capacity to unite stakeholders
Political marketability
Compassion and accessibility
Tangible community development achievements
Hon. ASHAD has consistently demonstrated these qualities.
Conclusion
Hon. Adebola Shakirat Adetunji (ASHAD) has shown through action, not words, that she is prepared for higher responsibility. Her record in empowerment, healthcare, education, and community development makes her a worthy and formidable choice for Ibadan North East/South East Federal Constituency.
At a time when the people desire tested leadership, ASHAD remains a name to reckon with.
