Recent developments in Ifè Federal Constituency revealed concerns on misuse of resources allocated for constituency development.
The Federal Government, under the Renewed Hope Program led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has distributed fertilizer through the Anchor Borrowers Program to support farmers. However, it has come to light that the sitting representative from Ifè Federal Constituency, Hon. Taofeeq Abimbola Ajilesoro, may be misappropriating these resources for personal and party gains.
The representative in question has been observed distributing these Federal resources to party members and caucus members presenting them as his personal constituency projects.
This act not only misleadsl the public but also undermines the true purpose of these initiatives, which are designed to benefit all constituents rather than a select group and few.
Further compounding this issue is the lack of transparency regarding the allocation and utilization of constituency project funds. The representative has failed to disclose how much was received for constituency projects and the concrete outcomes of these funds. Instead, there are allegations that substantial amounts have been diverted toward personal real estate investments in Lagos, Arepo in Ogun State, Magodo, and even the United States.
Such actions are not only ethically questionable but also detrimental to the development and welfare of the constituency. It is imperative for the people of Ifè Federal Constituency to demand clear accountability from their representative. An open inquiry should be conducted community leaders, town unions, youth groups, pro democracy groups, Religion leaders etc to determine the amount allocated for constituency projects and to assess how these funds have been utilized.
It is our right to know how much he has collected on our head and what the money is used for not just jumping on federal government projects using our common wealth to build personal financial empire.
The focus should be on ensuring that resources intended for development genuinely reach those in need and contribute to the improvement of lives and poverty alleviation in the constituency. Transparent reporting and responsible management of constituency funds are essential to maintaining public trust and achieving meaningful progress.
It is time for the citizens of Ifè Federal Constituency to hold their representatives accountable and advocate for the rightful and effective use of our resources.
Only through vigilance and active engagement can we ensure that public funds are used appropriately for the benefit of all constituents and not few privileged individuals who are only serving his political interests.
