In the vibrant landscape of Nigerian politics, the emergence of dynamic young leaders offers a beacon of hope and renewal. Among these emerging figures, Rep. Abass Adigun Agboworin stands out as an illuminant of inspiration, orientation and inclusion in governance.
As a constituent of Ibadan North East and a staunch member of Team Agboworin, it is with great pride and admiration that we commend our principal, Rep. Agboworin for his unwavering commitment to nurturing the leaders of tomorrow.
In an era where cynicism often pervades the political sphere, Rep. Agboworin embodies a refreshing ethos of service and dedication. His visionary leadership has not only brought tangible improvements to our community but has also served as a catalyst for youth engagement and participation in politics.
Through his advocacy and mentorship, he has galvanized a new generation of aspiring leaders, instilling in them the values of integrity, sincerity, accountability, transparency and public service. It is on record that he hosted first youth engagement in 2019, which held at Mapo hall, the same year he won his first election.
One of Rep. Agboworin’s most notable contributions has been his emphasis on creating platforms for youth involvement in decision-making processes. Recognizing that the voices of young people are vital for shaping the future of our nation, he has actively sought their input on policy initiatives and development projects. Whether through town hall meetings, youth summits, or internship programmes, he has fostered an environment where young minds are empowered to contribute meaningfully to governance.
Moreover, Rep. Agboworin has been a staunch advocate for the inclusion of youth-friendly policies in legislative agendas. From advocating for increased funding for education and skills development to championing initiatives that address youth unemployment, he has been a tireless champion for the aspirations and concerns of young Nigerians.
By amplifying their voices on the national stage, he has ensured that their interests are not only heard but also prioritized in the halls of power.
Beyond his legislative achievements, Rep. Agboworin leads by example, a mentor and role model for aspiring young politicians. His accessibility, approachability, and willingness to listen serve as a source of inspiration for those who aspire to follow in his footsteps.
By sharing his experiences, insights, lessons learned and, in fact, his private life journey since his toddler’s days in Academy area of Ibadan South East Local Government area, he has equipped countless young leaders with the tools they need to navigate the complexities of public service with integrity and resilience.
As members of Team Agboworin, Ibadan North East chapter, we are honored to stand behind Rep. Abass Adigun Agboworin as he continues to champion the cause of youth leadership in politics. His visionary leadership, unwavering dedication, and steadfast commitment to empowering the next generation of leaders, which was once again showcased at the prestigious International Conference Center, University of Ibadan, in a program codenamed AGBOWORIN FLIP 1.0, serve as a testament to the transformative power of inclusive governance.
With leaders like Rep. Agboworin at the helm of affairs, we are confident that the future of Oyo State, perhaps Nigerian politics at large, is in capable hands, and the dreams of our youth are within reach.
We appreciate the presence of everyone who tutored us at the event. Just to mention but a few: Prof. Remi Aiyede of the Department of Political Science, University of Ibadan; Engr. Jubril Dotun Sanusi, founder of Ilaji Resort; PDP Chieftain, Yinka Aderibigbe Bibire; Engr. Abiodun Babalola, member of Oyo State Hose of Assembly; Ms Wasilat Adegoke, Commissioner for Youth and Sport; Hon. Ogunsina Michael, Oyo state PDP Youth Leader, among others.
We, hereby, urge Rep. Agboworin not to relent in his efforts to prepare our youths for the leadership tasks ahead of them.
