The Media Team of Hon. Tijani Kayode Ismail, Member representing Oyun/Offa/Ifelodun Federal Constituency, has noted with concern a politically charged article titled “Hon. Ismail Kayode Tijani: The Ghost Representative Failing His Constituency” by Owodunni Rasheed Adekunle, published on Politainments News 24/7.
In a press statement made available to Just Event Online TV on Monday evening
While we uphold the principles of democratic accountability and constructive criticism, it is crucial to set the records straight by highlighting Hon. Tijani’s unwavering commitment to effective representation, empowerment, and infrastructural development across his constituency.
Hon. Tijani has remained an active and vocal advocate for his constituents, ensuring their concerns are addressed at all levels. His proactive stance on security matters within Kwara South has seen him collaborate with traditional rulers, security agencies, and local vigilante groups to enhance community policing and peacekeeping efforts.
Contrary to the unfounded allegations, Hon. Tijani has consistently championed youth and women empowerment programs, including:
✅ Direct financial grants of ₦500,000 each to small business owners and artisans to support entrepreneurship.
✅ Successful facilitation of federal job placements across various agencies such as:
National Orientation Agency (NOA)
Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS)
Nigerian Television Authority (NTA)
Federal Ministry of Mines and Steel
Civil Defence, Immigration Service & Nigerian Army
Federal Polytechnic Offa, Federal Universities & Colleges
These opportunities have been distributed equitably across Oyun, Offa, and Ifelodun, ensuring that all zones benefit from his interventions.
Hon. Tijani’s representation is not about empty promises but tangible results. Some of his key infrastructural interventions include:
✔️ Construction of a 2-kilometre road in Popoola and Civil Defence axis, Erin-Ile
✔️ Drainage and grading of Lamodi Road, Offa
✔️ Construction of a lawn tennis court at Offa Club
✔️ Borehole construction in Mansudo, Ifelodun LGA
✔️ Empowerment outreach with cash grants and tools for youth and women
These projects are not mere political rhetoric but physical developments that continue to improve the lives of his constituents.
Unlike those who seek political relevance through sensationalism, Hon. Tijani maintains direct engagement with his people. He frequently holds stakeholder meetings, community visits, and private interventions that may not always make headlines but make a real difference in people’s lives.
To Owodunni Rasheed Adekunle, we urge responsible journalism—fact-checking before publishing misleading political commentaries. As for the people of Oyun/Offa/Ifelodun, rest assured that Hon. Tijani Kayode Ismail remains an active, result-oriented leader. As 2027 approaches, let performance—not propaganda—determine the future of our constituency.
