The lawmaker representing Egbeda/Ona-Ara Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Abuja, Hon. Akin Alabi has been described as an Ibadan pride in the green chamber by the immediate past Senator of Oyo South Senatorial District, Dr. Sen. Kola Balogun.
Sen. Balogun said this while speaking on behalf of the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Sen. Lekan Balogun, CFR, Alli Okunmade II at the presentation of a 20KVA power generating set to the palace by the lawmaker, who is also the Mogaji Ajiogbo family of Labiran area in Ibadan on Saturday.
He recalled that the potentials of the lawmaker as a star became manifest right at the orientation programme organized for the newly elected members of the National Assembly (NASS) in 2019 when he too was elected a Senator.
According to him, "Hon. Alabi showed the stuff he was made of and proved himself as one of our stars".
To those of us, who knew him before, we were not surprised and he has remained a very good ambassador of the state and I am sure members of his constituency can attest to the fact that he's a performing lawmaker.
He has been a very good son to His Imperial Majesty ever before becoming what he is today and personally, I am not surprised.
We can only pray for him to continue to soar like an eagle and to remain committed to the good works he has been doing.
In his brief remark, the lawmaker disclosed that the presentation was a fulfilment of the promise made about two weeks ago during his Christmas visit to the Olubadan, noting that he's not always at ease whenever he makes a promise until such is fulfilled.
Hon. Akin Alabi, who is the Chairman, House Committee on Works corroborated the submission by Sen. Balogun that he's a son to the Olubadan, recalling that the present Olubadan was the one God used for him to become Mogaji in 2016.
