“I’m Not an Enemy to Anyone, I’m a Friend to All” — Adeniyi Ismail Oluwatosin Declares 2027 Reps Ambition

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Hon. Adeniyi Ismail Oluwatosin, has declared his intention to contest the House of Representatives seat for Boluwaduro, Ifedayo and Ila Federal Constituency in the 2027 general elections, stating that his ambition is driven by his desire to serve the people and strengthen unity across the constituency.

Oluwatosin, popularly known as AIO, made the declaration during a Ramadan lecture and humanitarian outreach he organized for residents of the constituency, where over 500 food packages were distributed to Muslim faithful and other families observing the holy month of Ramadan.

Addressing a large gathering of political leaders, party stakeholders and community members, the APC stalwart emphasized that his aspiration to represent the constituency at the National Assembly is not about political rivalry but about service and inclusiveness.

“I wish to lead my people by contesting for the House of Representatives in 2027. I am not an enemy to anyone; I am a friend to all,” Oluwatosin said.

He noted that leadership should focus on bringing people together, strengthening grassroots engagement and creating opportunities that will improve the lives of ordinary citizens.

The programme attracted several dignitaries, political leaders and stakeholders from across Boluwaduro, Ifedayo and Ila Federal Constituency.

Among those present were the Executive Chairman of Ila Local Government, Hon. Adeyemi Adebara; the Chairman of Ila Local Council Development Area, Hon. Abdullah Olanrewaju; and the APC Chairman in Ila Local Government, Hon. Joseph Adedokun.

Also in attendance were the former Executive Chairman of Ila Local Government, Otunba Segun Awotunde; the Vice Chairman of Ila Local Government, Hon. Tunde Ajani; alongside other local government executives, political aides and party leaders.

Ward councillors, ward chairmen, women leaders, youth leaders, members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), tricycle operators and numerous supporters from across the constituency also attended the event.

Delivering the Ramadan lecture, the Mufasir of Ila Local Government, Alhaji Sheikh Uthman Isiak, urged leaders to embrace justice, fairness and generosity in leadership.

The cleric stressed that true leadership must prioritize the welfare of the people, noting that compassion, integrity and accountability remain essential values for those entrusted with public responsibility.

Many residents who attended the programme commended Oluwatosin for the initiative, describing the distribution of food packages as a timely support for families observing the Ramadan fasting period.

The event concluded with prayers for peace, unity and continued development across Boluwaduro, Ifedayo and Ila Federal Constituency.
