My Dear People,
Last year, 2025, I promised to advance my impact and interventions through my foundation, the Akinjide Kazeem Akinola Foundation (AKA), and by God’s grace, we made remarkable impacts in the best way possible and within our capacity, putting smiles on the faces of the people of Egbeda/Ona-Ara Federal Constituency.
As I extend my warmest wishes to you all for a prosperous, fulfilling, and joyous New Year 2026, it is equally important to reflect on some of the defining moments of the year 2025. Truthfully, it was a wonderful year with my people, whom I am aspiring and seeking to represent in the lower chamber of the National Assembly—the House of Representatives—for improved performance and, more importantly, to bring home the much-desired dividends of democracy.
Looking back at 2025, much was collectively achieved together as one big family within the federal constituency. From meaningful engagements with community leaders, stakeholders, and members, to impactful initiatives that benefited my All Progressives Congress (APC) leaders and members, the year strengthened mutual support, unity, and understanding.
As I reiterated at the beginning of the year in my New Year message, my team and I remain continuously committed to addressing the pressing needs of Egbeda/Ona-Ara Federal Constituency within our current individual capacity, while looking forward to expanding these efforts with your support when the time comes. It is important to reiterate again that the time has come. Politically, I will be needing your support to actualise my intention to represent the people of Egbeda/Ona-Ara Federal Constituency at the level of our great party, APC, and subsequently before the general public, after we successfully clinch the party ticket, by Allah’s grace.
Reps Aspirant, Akinola Kazeem Celebrtates SWDC Executive Director, Alh. Fatai Ibikunle on Birthday
During the journey through 2025, I extended various gestures to my people through the AKA Foundation. These ranged from the sponsorship of over 400 (four hundred) free JAMB/UTME forms for our younger ones within the federal constituency, coupled with the organisation of tutorial sessions for prospective UTME candidates, as well as CBT training sessions to adequately prepare them for their examinations. Through this, we practically demonstrated what it means to invest in education and why we must strive to build a functional system that brings out the best in our educational sector.
We also implemented a very impressive Back-to-School initiative, where more than 300 (three hundred) parents benefited ₦50,000 (fifty thousand naira only) each. Additionally, some communities were illuminated through the installation of solar-powered streetlights, while solar-powered boreholes were donated to serve various communities. Several other personal intervention funds were also activated during the course of the year to support members of Egbeda/Ona-Ara Federal Constituency.
While journeying through the year, it was very sad and regrettable that I lost one of my very dear brothers, friends, and partners—someone who believed strongly in my aspirations and always put his personal interests on hold to ensure that every assignment concerning my aspirations was accomplished. Accepting the reality of his transition was extremely difficult. Hon. Oluseye Olaoye Samuel was more than a brother and partner; he was a trusted confidant during his lifetime. May he continue to enjoy his peaceful rest, Amen. To other departed souls in Egbeda/Ona-Ara Federal Constituency in 2025, I pray that Allah continues to be pleased with their souls, Amen.
On a final note, may this year bring us closer to realising our collective goals for a brighter, more prosperous constituency and a stronger Nigeria.
Happy New Year!
