At a defining moment in the political history of the Ede North, Ede South, Egbedore, and Ejigbo Federal Constituency, the people are demanding more than familiar political rhetoric. Across communities, there is a growing call for fairness, inclusiveness, competence, and a representative whose impact has already been felt long before the next election cycle.
Today, the conversation is no longer about politics for politics’ sake; it is about effective representation, balanced leadership, and giving every part of the constituency a genuine sense of belonging within the democratic process.
This is why the growing agitation for the House of Representatives seat to fairly rotate to Ejigbo continues to gain support among youths, elders, market women, transport unions, artisans, traders, and various grassroots stakeholders across the federal constituency. Democracy flourishes best where equity is respected and where political opportunities are not repeatedly concentrated within the same direction for decades.
More importantly, the call for Ejigbo representation is strengthened by the availability of a competent, experienced, and people-oriented figure in the person of Engr. David Ayodele Asalu (Asler).
Over the years, Asler has consistently demonstrated that leadership is not merely about occupying office but about maintaining continuous connection with the people. His philanthropic and developmental interventions have extended beyond Ejigbo alone, reaching different communities across the federal constituency through educational support, youth empowerment initiatives, community assistance programmes, and advocacy for better governance.
His sponsorship of free WAEC and JAMB forms for hundreds of indigent students, support for educational development, and commitment to youth advancement reflect a leadership style centered on opportunity creation and human capital development. These interventions have not been restricted by political affiliation, locality, or social status, but have focused on improving lives across the constituency.
Beyond philanthropy, Asler possesses valuable legislative exposure that distinguishes him within the political space. Having served as a former legislative aide to several representatives, he understands the true responsibilities of legislative office, including policy formulation, constituency engagement, oversight functions, and how to effectively attract developmental opportunities to the people. This experience places him in a unique position to deliver from the very first day in office.
At this stage, the constituency requires more than repeated political recycling or divisive rhetoric. The people desire a representative who understands grassroots realities, carries the confidence of the people, and possesses both administrative exposure and community acceptance.
The demand for equitable representation through Ejigbo is not an act of sentiment or political hostility; it is a democratic appeal for fairness, balance, and inclusive participation. Every part of the constituency deserves the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to leadership and representation at the national level.
As the conversation about the future of the federal constituency continues, many people strongly believe that Engr. David Ayodele Asalu (Asler) represents a new phase of purposeful representation built on service, accessibility, experience, competence, and genuine grassroots connection.
For the people, the message remains simple and clear:
_Representation must be fair. Leadership must be impactful. The time for balanced and people-centered representation is now._
