The aspirant, who is the eldest son of the late Aleco, a respected Akure politician, philanthropist, and pioneer majority leader of the old Ondo State House of Assembly, draws strength from his father’s legacy of integrity, hard work and community commitment.
He currently leads the ALECO Foundation, which focuses on empowering underprivileged children through educational support, distributing learning materials, and providing humanitarian aid to vulnerable groups.
Adedipe, a lawyer, reiterated his commitment to inclusive leadership that unites all segments of the constituency, which consists of youths, women, traditional rulers, artisans and elders for collective progress.
“My representation will be defined by accessibility, transparency, and results. I will not only bring development home, but also ensure our voices are heard loudly at the national level,” he concluded.
