Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Senate Leader, Sen. Opeyemi Bamidele says Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State will serve as the headquarters of the newly established South West Development Commission (SWDC).

Bamidele, the Senator, representing Ekiti Central Senatorial District who stated this on Monday said there is no controversy over which state houses the headquarters of the SWDC.

According to him, Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State would be the headquarters like it used to be from the start of Western Region.

Opeyemi spoke in Ado Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, while flagging off the distribution of 5,000 bags of fertiliser to farmers in the Ekiti Central Senatorial District.

Bamidele, also used the opportunity to dismiss insinuation that he was against regionalism government being clamour for by the people of South West.

“As of today, October 7, there is no bill before the National Assembly, there is not even a memorandum before the Senate to debate on regarding regionalism.

“All the talk that I am opposed to regionalism is fake news and unfounded.

“By the grace of God, I just led all the 18 senators representing the six states of the Southwest to work so hard for the Senate to pass the South West Development Commission Bill.

“If I had just done that with my colleagues, how can anyone say I am working against Yoruba interest?

“We have our SWDC; the House of Representatives has passed it, and by the grace of God, by the time the President returns from his vacation, he will sign it into law.

“We will set up the SWDC, the headquarters will be in Ibadan.

“The headquarters of the Southwest is in Ibadan. But we have passed a law that will ensure that the interests of Ekiti and the other five states are well-protected.

“There will be a Chairman, there will be a Managing Director and there will be four Executive Directors.

“These six positions will each go to each of the six states in the Southwest,” he said.

Bamidele further said : “President Tinubu, as part of his short-term effort to make lives more meaningful to the people, is of the view that we should go beyond sharing rice, but that we should join in investing in agriculture.

“The president made 1,200 bags of fertiliser available to every senator in this country.

“The president also made 600 bags of fertiliser available to every member of the House of Representatives.

“Fertiliser distribution is aimed at assisting our farmers.

“It is not something for political parties; it is not something for any other person except farmers.

“I felt I needed more than 1,200 bags for my district, I looked for money and got additional bags to make it 5,000.

“So today, by the grace of God, we have 5, 000 bags of fertiliser for distribution to farmers in Ekiti Central Senatorial District.”

The lawmaker, who said that the fertilisers would be distributed to registered farmers in the state, however, warned the beneficiaries against selling the farm input.

“Do not collect it if you do not use it,” he said.

Bamidele further added : “The government is encouraging everybody to be involved in farming and give necessary assistance to farmers.”
