A House of Assembly aspirant for Akoko North West Constituency I in Ondo State, Hon. Odudu Ayodele Samuel, popularly known as Manifold, has said the constituency needs sustainable development driven by local capacity rather than short-term political handouts.
Samuel, in a statement issued by his media team on Tuesday said his aspiration is anchored on promoting what he described as “endogenous development,” aimed at equipping residents with skills, knowledge and opportunities that can drive lasting economic growth within the community.
According to him, the people of the constituency deserve policies and programmes that empower them to rise above poverty through education, skills acquisition and leadership that prioritises human capital development.
He said, “Our people do not need hand-to-mouth gifts. What we truly need is development that grows from within our community. That is why I stand for endogenous development—building skills, knowledge and opportunities here at home with impact that can extend beyond our constituency and across Nigeria.”
The aspirant added that while material gifts may provide temporary relief, sustainable progress can only be achieved through investment in people and community-driven initiatives.
Samuel also pledged to champion programmes that would focus on training, mentorship and practical empowerment if elected into the Ondo State House of Assembly.
He stressed that his vision for Akoko North West Constituency I is to create an environment where residents can thrive through competence, collaboration and inclusive development.
“With leadership that truly puts the people first, we can build a constituency where growth comes from us and works for us,” he said.
Samuel therefore urged residents of the constituency to support his aspiration, noting that collective commitment would help position the area for long-term transformation.
