Oloyede stressed that "what is going on in the Kwara South Senatorial District is a game of which town has produced a federal lawmaker and which others have not but this should not be a priority for this time.

"What should be paramount now is the issue of credibility and capacity and those that will deliver the goods for the people and those that will advance the well being of the area in the next polls.

"My main thrust, if given chance, in the next elections is on how to bring uncommon agenda that would improve the socio well being of the federal constituency.

"I have a long term blueprint that would touch the lives of Ekiti/Isin/ Irepodun/ Oke-Ero Federal Constituency and if given chance to represent them in the next elections more delivery of dividends of democracy will come to their doorsteps."

He also said that "the area is currently in need of good health care delivery and this would be embarked on in the bid to reduce mortality rate in the federal constituency."

On the area of insecurity in the senatorial district, Oloyede stated that all necessary contacts would be employed in order to curb the spread of insecurity in the area.

He noted that "it is when there is peace and tranquility in a particular area that there would be a chance for the investors to invest and thereby improving economic growth of the area.

"Apart from this, the development would also provide employment opportunities for the youths and this would reduce unemployment and poverty level in the area."
