PRESS RELEASE
It has come to my attention that a recent press statement by Bright Eniafe, an aide to the Senior Special Assistant on Youth Empowerment to the Ondo State Government Hon. Orioye Benedict Gbayisemore has unjustly targeted Senator Jide Ipinsagba, the distinguished representative of Ondo North Senatorial District.
This statement appears to be politically motivated, either to promote his immediate superior’s aspirations to become Commissioner for Youth And Sport in Ondo State or to serve the interests of other political actors ahead of the 2027 elections.
Senator Ipinsagba, who operates from his Abuja office and maintains a liaison in Ondo North, has consistently demonstrated his commitment to the development of the senatorial district.
His tenure is marked by notable achievements in agriculture, youth empowerment, healthcare, education, and infrastructure development.
These include agricultural training programs, ICT initiatives for youths, road construction in Oka-Akoko, modern health facilities in Akunnu-Akoko, and scholarships for students
It is disappointing that individuals like Mr. Eniafe would attempt to distort facts for personal or political gain. As someone who has personally benefited from Senator Ipinsagba’s support in the past, Mr. Eniafe should refrain from using divisive rhetoric under the guise of representing Ondo North youths.
Such actions undermine collective progress and distract from the Senator’s ongoing efforts to deliver dividends of democracy.
I urge Mr. Eniafe to issue a public apology for his remarks and desist from being used as a tool for political manipulation. Furthermore, I call on all youths in Ondo North to remain united and avoid being exploited by politicians seeking short-term gains at our expense.
Let us focus on constructive dialogue and collaboration to ensure sustainable development in our district.
Signed,
Hakeem Ayodele
