2027: Ondo APC aspirant Fadairo pledges inclusive, grassroots development

He outlined key priorities of his agenda, including infrastructure development, youth and women's empowerment, and expanded access to essential services such as healthcare, education, and economic opportunities.

"I am committed to building a constituency where no group feels left out. Development must be inclusive, and representation must reflect the diversity of our people," he said.

Fadairo emphasized the importance of collaboration among stakeholders, noting that sustainable development can only be achieved through collective effort and people-focused policies.

He also appreciated the Non-Indigenes Assembly for endorsing his candidacy, describing the gesture as a reflection of growing confidence in his leadership.

The APC aspirant, who previously served as Senior Special Assistant on Community Engagement (Central) to Ondo State Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa and as Director of Administration in the Senate during the 9th Assembly, highlighted his experience in governance.

"I have the political experience and understand the needs of our people. I assure you that I will not disappoint. We will invest in non-indigenes and ensure they have a befitting place for their meetings. You will be carried along in policy decisions and empowerment programmes, he added.

However, Hon. Fadairo further promised to facilitate projects that would improve road networks, support small and medium-scale enterprises, and attract federal presence to the constituency.

Earlier, the President of the Non-Indigenes Assembly, Mr. Isaac Okita, described Fadairo as a bridge-builder capable of uniting residents across ethnic and cultural divides.

He said Fadairo’s track record in public service and grassroots engagement makes him a credible candidate for effective representation in the House of Representatives.

Okita also called on Governor Aiyedatiwa to support Fadairo’s aspiration, describing him as the right candidate for the constituency.

"We are non-indigenes, but we thank God that we're making progress as residents here in Akure. Our businesses are thriving, and there is peace. When we see something good, we must appreciate it, and that's why we are demanding that a round peg be put in a round hole this time around.

"The reason is that we have not seen the impact of representation since the 10th Assembly in Akure North and Akure South. This is the right time for Mr. Governor to give us a man we can trust. A man we can complain to and who would listen. A man that we can reckon with and can elevate the people. A man who can make a difference in this constituency, and it is not any other person than Hon. Fadairo Dennis Oluwafemi.

"This is the person that we, the Non-indigenes in Ondo State, specifically in Akure North and Akure South, want for the House of Representatives seat, and it is why we are endorsing his candidacy as our choice," Okita said.

He noted that non-indigenes contribute significantly to the economic and social development of the constituency and should not be excluded from governance, pledging to mobilize support for Hon. Fadairo ahead of the APC primaries and the 2027 general election.
