Akinlayo Kolawole’s Record of Service Fuels Growing Calls for Reelection in Ekiti North II

As political discussions gradually intensify ahead of the next electoral cycle, residents of Ekiti North Federal Constituency II, comprising Moba, Ido-Osi and Ilejemeje Local Government Areas, are increasingly evaluating the performance of their representative at the National Assembly, Hon. Akinlayo Davidson Kolawole. 

Across communities within the constituency, his record of service has become a central topic, with many constituents openly expressing support for his reelection.

Since assuming office as a Member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Kolawole has established himself as a lawmaker whose approach to representation balances effective legislative engagement with sustained grassroots development. 

Observers note that his tenure reflects a clear understanding of the dual responsibility of a federal legislator to contribute meaningfully to national policymaking while ensuring tangible benefits reach constituents at home.

At the National Assembly, Hon. Kolawole has maintained an active presence in legislative proceedings, contributing to debates on key national issues including economic reforms, fiscal responsibility, governance and public accountability. 

His contributions have consistently emphasized policies aimed at strengthening institutions, improving economic stability and protecting the welfare of citizens. 

Through committee engagements and plenary interventions, he has demonstrated a commitment to legislative diligence and informed participation.

Beyond legislative functions, Hon. Kolawole has also played roles in strengthening inter-parliamentary relations, participating in initiatives that promote international cooperation and legislative diplomacy. 

Such engagements, analysts say, enhance exposure to global best practices that can be adapted to local development priorities.

At the constituency level, Hon. Kolawole’s tenure has been marked by visible interventions in critical sectors, particularly education. He has facilitated the construction and commissioning of classroom blocks in public schools within Ekiti North II, contributing to improved learning environments and easing infrastructural deficits. These projects have been widely acknowledged by education stakeholders as timely interventions that support academic development.

In addition to infrastructure, he has supported students through bursary schemes and educational assistance programs targeted at easing the financial burden on parents and guardians. 

Beneficiaries across the constituency attest that such interventions have enabled many students to remain in school despite prevailing economic challenges.

Economic empowerment has remained a core component of Hon. Kolawole’s constituency agenda. 

Through organized empowerment initiatives, he has distributed vocational tools and financial support to widows, youths, artisans and small-scale traders. Items such as motorcycles, sewing machines, generators and start-up grants have helped beneficiaries establish or expand income-generating ventures, thereby strengthening household economies and local commerce.

Community leaders describe these empowerment efforts as impactful, noting that they are designed to promote self-reliance rather than dependency. Several beneficiaries have credited the programs with improving their livelihoods and providing sustainable means of support for their families.

Youth engagement and development have also featured prominently in Hon. Kolawole’s representation. He has consistently supported skills acquisition programs, vocational training and technology-oriented initiatives aimed at equipping young people with practical and employable skills. His regular interaction with youth groups, student associations and community organizations has earned him widespread acceptance among young people across the constituency.

Traditional rulers, religious leaders and other stakeholders have similarly commended Hon. Kolawole’s inclusive leadership style. 

His accessibility, consultation with community leaders and participation in local events have strengthened trust and fostered a sense of shared ownership of governance among constituents.

Political observers note that the growing calls for Hon. Kolawole’s reelection are largely driven by performance and continuity considerations. 

Many residents argue that his experience, familiarity with constituency challenges and established legislative networks position him to deliver even greater dividends of democracy if given another term in office.

As Ekiti North Federal Constituency II continues to reflect on its representation at the federal level, Hon. Akinlayo Davidson Kolawole’s record remains a reference point in public discourse. 

For many constituents, his achievements in office provide a compelling justification for the increasing clamour for his return to the House of Representatives.
