Waliu Ifedolapo Owode, the 10th Assembly member of Ogun State representing the Ijebu East State Constituency, has facilitated a significant agricultural aid program benefiting 11 individuals through the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security and the Federal Department of Agricultural Extension Services.

During the event, Mr. Babatunde Anifowose expressed his gratitude to Hon. Waliu Owode Ifedolapo, popularly known as Oloogun-Ebi, for his efforts in delivering the dividends of democracy to the grassroots.
“Honorable Waliu Owode Ifedolapo, known as Oloogun-Ebi, has shown remarkable initiative in bringing the benefits of democracy directly to the people. If all our political office holders worked like him, Nigeria would be a much better place. This is arguably the first time we have a square peg in a square hole in Ijebu East politics. May Oloogun-Ebi live long and continue to be successful,” Anifowose remarked.
The program underscores Hon. Waliu Owode’s commitment to improving the livelihoods of his constituents and supporting sustainable agricultural practices. As a new breed of progressive politician, his actions reflect a dedication to grassroots development and community empowerment.
Hon. Waliu Ifedolapo Owode’s media team reported the successful execution of the program, highlighting his role in facilitating these critical resources to local farmers.
