On June 12, 2023, Hon. Olushola Odetundun was sworn in as the honourable member representing the culturally rich and industrious people of Irepodun constituency at the Tenth Assembly, Kwara State House of Assembly.
Since he assumed office, Hon. Odetundun has delivered impactive representation, becoming a beacon of renewed hope for his constituents. As of today, 75% of the wards in Irepodun have benefited from his various programmes and interventions aimed at making life more meaningful to the people, earning him the nickname Omoluabi among the constituents.
A few months ago, during a gathering of the Royal Council of Irepodun, the esteemed Olupo of Ajase-Ipo praised Hon. Odetundun, calling him a true son of the soil and commending his astute representation.
Hon. Olushola Odetundun has facilitated several key projects, including:
- Provision of Boreholes in four different wards
- Renovation of two classrooms at Araromi Ijan-Otun Community LGEA Primary School
- Construction of shops at Arandun Market
- Payment of JAMB and WAEC fees for hundreds of students
- Distribution of fertilizers and other farm inputs to farmers
- Donation of ten sets of computers to Ofe-Aran Grammar School, Omu-Aran
- Donation of ten sets of computers to Okeya-Ipo High School
- Donation of five sets of computers to Ogbo Grammar School, Omu-Aran
- Donation of a motorcycle to Agbamu Police Station to ease their operations
In recognition of his outstanding service, Oba Yakubu Babalola Egunjobi II, Elesie of Esie, bestowed upon him the title “Otunba Atunluse of Esie” during there annual Baragbon festival last year December.
Additionally, the Rt. Hon. Speaker described him as an active member of the Tenth Assembly who has represented his constituency exceptionally well and also contributed immensely towards the development of the State.
It is my fervent hope that by the time you celebrate your second year in office, the constituents will have benefited even more.
Congratulations on your first year in office, sir. We are proud of you.
