A scathing open letter addressed to Hon. Yinka Aluko, the federal representative for Ilorin East/South constituency, has ignited a debate on accountability and representation in Kwara State.
Oluwatoyin Luqman Bolakale, an Online Media Practitioner and member of the constituency raises concerns about the lawmaker’s performance and calls for greater transparency in governance.
In the letter, Bolakale expresses disappointment with Aluko’s recent communication to Funsho Hadnan, highlighting discrepancies between the lawmaker’s claims and the reality on the ground. While acknowledging Aluko’s emergence as the federal representative, Bolakale emphasizes the need for tangible results over congratulatory rhetoric.
One of the key grievances outlined in the letter is Aluko’s purported sponsorship of bills, including the establishment of the Federal Medical Center in Fufu and the Federal College of Education in Oke-Oyi.
However, Bolakale alleges that these initiatives were initiated by previous representatives of the constituency, questioning Aluko’s role in their advancement.
Moreover, Bolakale criticizes Aluko’s perceived lack of proactive measures in addressing pressing needs within the constituency, particularly about the delayed distribution of federal government palliatives.
The letter underscores the importance of transparency and accountability in governance, calling on Aluko to provide verifiable evidence of resource allocation, particularly in education subsidy programs.
Security concerns within the constituency also feature prominently in the letter, with Bolakale urging Aluko to take decisive actions to ensure the safety and well-being of the community.
In conclusion, Bolakale calls upon Aluko to reevaluate his priorities and deliver tangible benefits to constituents, emphasizing the expectation for action, accountability, and genuine representation from elected officials.
The open letter to Hon. Yinka Aluko serves as a reminder of the critical role of accountability in governance and the expectations placed on elected representatives by their constituents.
As debates on representation continue, stakeholders await Aluko’s response and commitment to addressing the concerns raised by Bolakale and others within the Ilorin East/South constituency.
