MAN chieftain declares intention to contest Kwara South senatorial seat

A chieftain of the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN), Prince Lekan Adewoye, has officially declared his intention to contest for a Senate seat in the Kwara South senatorial district of Kwara State, pledging to attract investment and create jobs for the constituents.

Adewoye, who is a prince of Arandun community in the Irepodun Local Government Area of the state, is also the Chairman, Basic Metal, Iron and Steel Sectoral Group, under the MAN.

Speaking during his official declaration in Ajase Ipo under the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), the senatorial aspirant promised effective and results-driven representation.

At the event, which attracted party leaders, government officials, traditional rulers, and members of the public, Prince Adewoye described his ambition as a movement for progress, not a personal quest for power. He said Kwara South must move beyond what he called years of underperformance and embrace purposeful representation.

He outlined key priorities to include job creation, infrastructure development, improved healthcare, quality education, and enhanced security.

The APC aspirant assured constituents that he would be an active and accessible senator, pledging not to be a silent voice but a strong advocate for the people.

He emphasized accountability, vowing to maintain regular engagement with constituents and ensure proper monitoring of government projects.

In his remarks, APC stalwart, Barrister Kayode Towoju, commended Adewoye’s courage and vision, describing him as a credible and grassroots politician with the capacity to deliver meaningful development to Kwara South.

The former Commissioner for Sports in the state urged party members and constituents to unite in support of the aspiration, saying that the entrepreneur is prepared to represent the Kwara South Senatorial District at the National Assembly come 2027.
