The people of Irepo/Orelope/Olorunsogo Federal Constituency deserve a leader who has a proven track record. His tenure as a lawmaker has been marked by tangible achievements. Hon. Bosun George Oladele is a dedicated leader who has consistently demonstrated a commitment to serving his people. His achievements in office reflect his tireless efforts to improve the lives of his constituents. He has distributed over ₦50,000 to trained farmers, provided transformers to support community development, and built a skill acquisition center for vocational training. His vision for education and healthcare is evident in his initiatives to establish a higher institution and general hospital in his constituency. Furthermore, he has facilitated jobs for numerous individuals, including 28 military recruits, 32 police officers, and one level 8 officer in the railway and one officer in the air force. He has also provided boreholes for water access, solar-powered systems for energy, distributed 4000 textbooks to primary school pupils, and awarded bursaries and scholarships to students. Additionally, he has supplied farming equipment and other essentials to support local agriculture. His focus on people-centric projects is underscored by his ensuring that the ₦30 million constituency allowance was spent on projects that benefit the community. He gave motorcycles to several individuals and groups, including youths, farmers, and others. He empowered many people, including youths, women, widows, and associations, among others.

As Nelson Mandela once said, "The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." Oladele's efforts have inspired hope and resilience in his people, and his commitment to public service is a testament to his unwavering dedication to the people. He has consistently demonstrated a willingness to listen, to learn, and to serve, and his people have taken notice.

Oladele's connection with President Bola Tinubu is rooted in their shared vision for Nigeria's progress. As the National Secretary of Southwest Agenda for Asiwaju (SWAGA), Oladele has been a vocal supporter of Tinubu's administration, citing the need for continuity in reforms. President Tinubu's administration has been making strides in road infrastructure, including the Lagos-Calabar waterway road project, aimed at enhancing connectivity and promoting economic growth across the country. The approval of ₦43 billion for the reconstruction of the Ilorin–Omu Aran–Egbe Road is another example, which will ease transportation, enhance security, and stimulate economic activities in the region.

SWAGA has launched SWAGA 2.0, a mobilization strategy for Tinubu's re-election bid in 2027, highlighting achievements such as infrastructure development, education, and youth empowerment. The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) initiative launched by President Tinubu is a significant step towards bridging the financial gap for students, providing loans to students to pursue tertiary education. The tax reforms proposed by President Tinubu aim to bring about financial sustainability and improve the country's economy.

The people of Irepo/Orelope/Olorunsogo Federal Constituency are blessed with potential tourist sites, including the 16 hills in Igbeti. Oladele has been promoting tourism in the area, recognizing its potential to boost the local economy and create jobs. Climbing the Iyamapo Hill offers numerous benefits, including physical exercise, spiritual rejuvenation, and social interaction. The annual Easter carnival fosters community bonding and cultural exchange while promoting economic empowerment through tourism. Oladele has been working to get Iyamapo Hill recognized by UNESCO, showcasing its cultural and historical significance. He believes the hill can become a major tourist attraction, boosting the local economy and promoting Nigerian culture globally. "Our constituency is blessed with potential tourist sites like the 16 hills in Igbeti," he says.

As a servant leader, Oladele embodies the spirit of Ubuntu, "I am because we are." His dedication to public service, commitment to his community, and passion for progress make him a true champion of the people. He has consistently demonstrated a willingness to put the needs of his people first, and his people have responded with love and appreciation.

"Then as a sole participant of ECOWAS, African Caribbean, and European Union parliaments, I was the sole representative from Nigeria, bridging two parliaments. This unique exposure broadened my network, deepened my understanding of international politics, and shed light on global challenges like human trafficking, drug trade, arms deals, banditry, and terrorism – and strategies to curb them. It was an eye-opening experience that reinforced my passion for serving humanity."

"During the campaign for President Tinubu, some of us contracted COVID-19, but thankfully, we survived. And thank God, Baba won! His administration is performing remarkably well, and Nigeria is on the rise again."

The 2027 election is an opportunity for the people of Irepo/Orelope/Olorunsogo Federal Constituency to re-elect a leader who has a proven track record, and that leader is Hon. Bosun George Oladele.
