Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo: All of Compassion and Largesse

Politics often appears divorced from compassion. But this is only the action of the most extreme politicians. For the average person, such as Honourable Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, it is all about representing the interests of the people. And how can anyone do that without kindness and consideration? Even so, Tunji-Ojo stands as a symbol of what people expect young politicians to be.

Ondo State is beginning to show its prospects. Tunji-Ojo, the member of the House of Representatives standing for Akoko North East/Akoko North West Federal Constituency, is one such talent from the state. However, in addition to his political adroitness, Tunji-Ojo is a well-spring of thoughtfulness and helpfulness, never rendering to his people anything less than hope for the future.

At a time when people in power are finding ways to secure the future for themselves, Tunji-Ojo is still pushing for the interests of his people. At the end of July 2023, he gathered 1,000 women in Ondo State and empowered them with N50,000 each. His goal was to ignite renewed hope in the present, recognizing their value in society.

Tunji-Ojo’s largesse did not go unnoticed. People from other Nigerian states soon started to clamour for such good work from their own representatives in the powerhouses. However, it is obvious to all now that Tunji-Ojo is one of a kind.

His constituents have always enjoyed him. In terms of infrastructural development, he has maintained a noteworthy momentum. He has also served his people by providing them with means to be formally educated, focusing especially on primary and secondary schools.

What about electricity and his gift of a 500KVA transformer to his constituency? What about the 36-plus solar-powered boreholes he set up in different communities in Akoko North East and North West? Clearly, Tunji-Ojo is a gem to his people.

So it is that at 41, Tunji-Ojo is strengthening the trust that his people have in him. The days are good and getting better for them, all because Tunji-Ojo is thoughtful and helpful, doing exactly what he was elected to do.
