I have seen men of high of moral and integrity, I've seen men of altruistic values who gives without an afterthought, I have seen great victors and great achievers. I have seen Prince Ashimiu Adeyinka Afeez Adio - a business man cum politician who have raised the bar in modern politics especially in Egbeda/ Ona-Ara Federal Constituency, he has proven without reasonable doubt that selfless men of high generosity who value human lives, above personal gains, still exist in the game of politics, no wonder some sect clamour for more business men to fill the voids in the Nigeria political terrain. Active participation in politics by the technocrats should be more encouraged as it will lay a good foundation for the upcoming generations, thus limiting the whims of politics which will ultimately reduce the visceral to matters of national importance or value.
Adio (as he his popularly called) has been at the forefront of the affairs of the people prior to the party primaries where he lost the Federal House of Representative candidate ticket of the All Progressives Party (APC) to Oloye Akin Alabi, however this loss has not deterred him from contributing immensely to the growth of the ruling party, APC. Talking of a kind, generous and forgiving man, a man with a good heart and virtue who is magnanimous in defeat, albeit being in full cognisance of the murky waters of politics he's plying.
Having lost the party ticket at the primary, he still made it a point of duty to be present at the Ona-Ara LG youth meeting at Elekuro High School on Saturday where he even donated a huge sum of cash for the upkeep of the party programs. He did not stop there, he took a grip of the opportunity given to him to announce his foundation, Adio Foundation which is an NGO aimed at adding value and shape to human lives. While speaking Prince Adio expressed the affection he has for his people and how he hoped to use politics to impact more into the life of the people. He took the time also to make public his free skill acquisition training program which will be coming up on the 30th of October to 3rd of November, 2018 at the Legacy House, Babanla, Ibadan. Domestic skills to acquire include: Laundry bar soap making; liquid soap; disinfectant and antiseptic; body spray; insecticide; vaseline; stove thread and bleach and rat poison.
This indeed is a laudable display of good political zeal from a passionate son of Ona-Ara and this gesture must be encourage within the rank and file of the politics. He swept everyone off their feet with his post primary reactions and his surge at improving the living standard of the people of Egbeda and Ona-Ara Federal Constituency, which in all honesty must be cheered.
Similar passion should be exhibited by our teeming young and prospective politicians in the nearest future as it amount to their own quota of giving back to the society that molded us into what we are today and above all serves as a modality for setting the standard for the future of Nigerian politics and posterity as a whole.
Congratulations to Prince Adio and Adio Foundation as you lay a new standard for the people and politicians in Egbeda/ Ona-Ara Federal Constituency.
