His march to the Green Chamber in 2019 raised many questions, and the Thomases far and near increased with the realities of his first timer. Less of excellence was prophesied about him with direct link to his naivety and newbieness.
Of course, at 40 plus he was a successful businessman. But the political pundits looked above this while juxtaposing politics with business. They drew lines with divergent complexities and were sure of their permutations and calculations.
However, years have passed and Hon. Akin Alabi keeps proving the legendary Reggae maestro, Bob Marley right who through one of his numerous famous titles affirmed that “TIME WILL TELL”.
Yes. Time is still telling on his performance over the years he has been at the green chamber. His legislative contributions gives positive impacts to Nigeria and Nigerians. You remember, a bill to establish medical training centre in Egbeda/Ona-ara federal constituency. “YES”, the bill was successful and the medical centre was established at Aba-onde area in Ona-Ara L.G. Many motions raised by him was successfully passed and his sponsored bills never met deadlock.
First of it’s kind was his Monthly cash Empowerment for Egbeda/Ona-Ara Women to start up small scale businesses or improving the existing businesses. This very gesture reminds us quickly the motto of Akin Alabi Foundation long before he was elected, ‘… touching lives one person at a time.’
It’s so impossible to forgets his constituency outreach. Supply of transformers to communities, supply of medical equipments to primary health sector, construction of medical centre in Egbeda L.G, construction of block of classrooms, construction of road in Ona-Ara L.G among others, even if we forget all these quickly, “Time Will Tell”. Do you remember “Better Call Akin”, an initiative established to fight for Egbeda/Ona-Ara constituents who are wrongly accused or punished by law enforcement agencies. Many constituents have been freed from prison and detentions through this initiative in no amount from the victims. Time is telling now.
He facilitated training for Egbeda/Ona-Ara youths and students on digital marketing with the provisions of laptops and other relevant materials to start a digital marketing businesses. Time is telling now.
Cash donations to many constituents, communities, students and empowerment programmes in different forms for market men and women, artisans and many professional bodies in Egbeda/Ona-ara federal constituency. Time is telling now.
Akin Alabi’s love for the youths is immeasurable and this intoxicated him to singlehandedly constructed modern stadium at Urban-Day Grammar School in Egbeda L.G to discover future professional footballers. Time is telling now.
I strongly believes without exaggerating that time will tell all these and the time is now.
The time is now to appreciates Hon. Akin Alabi for all he has done for Egbeda/Ona-Ara Federal Constitutiency. Our knowledge and wisdom shouldn’t be manipulate by some unrealistic politician. Check facts and records, in all ramifications Hon. Akin Alabi is not only best but the pride of our constituency.
Conclusively, a vote for Hon. Akin Alabi of All Progressives Congress in February 25th will tell the time our constituency would reach its highest goal.
A good turn deserves another. Votes.
