The People’s Democratic Party Candidate for Ibadan North Federal Constituency House of Representative Hopeful, Hon. Lanre Sarumi has said that his aspiration to represent the people of Ibadan North Federal Constituency is motivated by the people most especially the needy in his constituency.
Honorable Lanre Sarumi disclosed this during a media parley held on the 19th November, 2022 with journalists and media practitioners in the State.
According to him, his philanthropic gesture precedes his ambition, as he has been supporting the people with his foundation right before venturing into politics through Lanre Sarumi Foundation, which has provided support for market women, communities, and payment of external Examination fees for secondary school students among others, and promised to continue all these on a large scale if elected.
“My philanthropic gesture precedes my ambition as we’ve been doing this before the idea to contest came up. The idea to contest came up in order to have more muscles to render service to humanity, and it emanated from my people”
“I want to categorically state here that my type of politics is not a do-or-die affair and that is why you can’t see any thug in my campaign team. My team is full of educated young Nigerians who are thirsty for development of their fatherland”
Speaking on Devolution of power, Hon. Sarumi stated that the centre controls too much power and he will be supporting legislation towards devolution of power, including State police to further strengthening the security architecture of States.
Highlighting some of the things he has done in recent times, he stated that on Friday, 19th of November, he and his team were a at Sabo community for cash empowerment of our people, especially the widows, the petty traders and the less privileged.
