“The growth and development of our people remain my top priority. Our collective progress as a constituency depends on unity, faith, and purposeful leadership. I am committed to ensuring that Ido and Ibarapa East continue to benefit from dividends of democracy at the federal level,” the lawmaker stated.
He further noted that with greater electoral victories for the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the federal, state, senatorial, and local government levels, more developmental projects and opportunities would be attracted to the constituency.

“I believe that when we invest in the house of God, we are investing in the moral foundation of our society. This mosque, when completed, will serve generations to come and stand as a symbol of our faith and unity,” he added.
The announcement was met with resounding appreciation from the Chief Imam, mosque committee members, and the entire congregation. Special prayers were offered for Hon. Aderemi Abas Oseni, his family, the APC, and for God’s guidance and protection upon him in his legislative duties and future political aspirations.
