Chief Dr. Kazeem Olayimika Salaam Alabaja, PhD, FCCA, Mba, the All Progressives Congress (APC) Senatorial aspirant for Kwara South in celebration of the festive season has distributed an End-of-Year Food Package to key stakeholders across the senatorial district.
The event, held at the ElizaChris Event Center in Omu-aran, served as a platform to reaffirm his commitment to a people-centric political agenda ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In his welcoming address, Dr. Alabaja, who also holds the title of Gbadero of Odo-Owa Kingdom, apologized that such a gathering was held later than intended due to technical issues. He stressed that the foundation of the project is built upon three core principles: transparency, stakeholders’ inclusiveness, and attaining economic development in Kwara South.
“The foundation of this project is based on 3 things which are transparency, stakeholders inclusiveness where he highlighted that for a representative to be successful there is a dire need to fully involves stakeholders most importantly those who made it possible to attain the position.
Chief Kazeem added that this particular traits of inclusivity is what he doesn’t take for granted and is akeen to his productivity as a person.
He further explained that constituents have the rights to recall any representative who’s not prioritising stakeholders inclusivity, noting that one of the ideas behind the event was to create a personal avenue to meet those who have been consistently promoting his name without having met him before.
“I’m promising you here today if I emerge as senator, our own administration will be different. You’re the one sending us to Abuja and if Nigeria is a better country you should have the opportunity to send us back to our home if we’re not performing well, but since that can’t happen our administration will be quite different, He said.
He added that the end of the year food package is just the beginning because he have been doing similar things since many years back but because he chooses not to spread it out people don’t know, adding that henceforth for this kind of relief package to the people will be more expanded so peoples across Kwara South will all benefit.
The APC aspirant expressed strong optimism about his chances in the upcoming elections, noting the massive turnout was evidence of grassroots support.
Speaking also, Chief Ezekiel Gbadeyan, former Chairman of Ekiti Local Government, gave his remarks by drawing a parallel to the presidential election.
“Our President said emilokan and fortunately he later became president of Federal republic of Nigeria. So now we here in igbomina too as said it we’re the next person to have the sit of senator in Kwara South at igbomina senatorial district, let put hand together to support who knows our values and did this kind of end of year package for us he will serve us to our fullest part.”

“Chief Kazeem Alabaja is a good leader that all the Kwara South people can benefit from him either he emerges as senator or not but what can motivate him more to be doing this and many more different kind of projects is by putting hand together for him and ensure he emerges as our senator in next coming elections.” He said.
