2027: ADC candidate vows to unseat incumbent senator in Ondo North

By Boye Oyeyemi

The Ondo North Senatorial candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Prince Foluso Mayowa Adefemi, has declared his readiness to unseat the incumbent senator, Olajide Ipinsagba, in the 2027 general election, expressing confidence in securing voters’ support across the district.

Adefemi stated this in a telephone interview with Western Post, saying his ambition was driven by the need for more accountable, accessible and responsive representation.

He argued that residents of the six local government areas in the senatorial district deserved stronger engagement with their elected representatives and greater accountability from those entrusted with public office.

The ADC candidate also challenged Ipinsagba to make his legislative record, constituency projects and other interventions public, urging voters to scrutinise his performance since assuming office.

“The people deserve to know what they have benefited from their representatives. Those elected into public office must be accountable to the people who entrusted them with their mandate,” he said.

Outlining his priorities, Adefemi said his legislative agenda would focus on youth empowerment, education, healthcare and infrastructure, particularly projects aimed at addressing the needs of rural communities.

He further promised to organise regular town hall meetings across the six local government areas to enable constituents assess his performance, raise concerns and demand explanations on his stewardship if elected.

Adefemi maintained that his campaign would prioritise direct engagement with residents, insisting that Ondo North needed a representative who would remain accessible, keep constituents informed and ensure their interests were adequately represented at the National Assembly.
