The address reads in part,
“My office and my foundation, the IleriOluwa Development Initiative have engaged with our women at all levels to stop the hitherto belief that political participation should be left only to our men. I thank the women in this state for responding to my calls. I am so proud about the level of political consciousness in the state now.
This has led to the increase in the number of women engaging in politics across all party divides. This is a huge encouragement. Other than this, it is one of the pillars on which the current campaigns for national offices drive.
Today, we are unveiling Akoni Obinrin Osun (Akosun). It is a body put together by women in this state to consistently anchor the participation of women in politics.
Akoni Obinrin comprise of women of courage, women with passion, and women of accomplishments, who have resolved to use their time, substance and intellect to actively give progressive direction to politics in our state. Our current focus in Akoni Obinrin is to mobilize, in an unprecedented manner for the victory of the APC Presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and the other candidates of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the 2023 elections.
Nigerian women have stood up in history for issues that contributed to the evolution and development of Nigeria. Names such as Madam Efunroye Tinubu, Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, Margaret Ekpo, Virginia Etiaba, Sarah Nnadzwa Jubril, Kudirat Abiola, Florence Ita-Giwa, stand out in history as brave and irrepressible women who have changed the horizon of political and economic participation of the country.
Here in Osun, we are equally not lacking in amazons, who have been dogged at women mobilization. Our women in national and state legislatures, executive positions and businesses must be commended for their agility, bravery and tenacity. Your efforts are changing things and rekindling the hope that we shall soon get a country and states that would engender better standard of living.
We are at the cusp of history. Let us rise again and bring up that country we all yearn for. Let’s renew the hope in our children. Your engagements led to the unprecedented increase in the number of voters that turned out in the last election in the state. We can do this again.
We must get into each house in this state and get every eligible voter to come out and do the needful. Let us mobilize every vote for the people that know the way, starting with Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and all the way to every contestant on the platform of the All Progressive Congress.
Like the saying goes, all politics are local. Let us play it real local. The 2023 election will trigger great and unprecedented positive change in the living standard of our people in Nigeria.
Nation building is like pregnancy. Every woman knows that without the pain of the labour room, there is no joy of babies. Every development always always have some pains that go with it. This is why it is called development. From what we know, the pains are about to pass and the joy is about here.
Let’s tell our people that nothing great happens until we leave our houses. So, the ball is in our court now. We should fan out and get every voter out there for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the others. We can do this!
