A Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the immediate past House of Representatives member for Ijebu-North / Ijebu-East / Ogun Waterside Federal Constituency, Rt. Hon. Adekoya Adesegun Abdel-Majid has attributed his remarkable delivery of developmental projects in his constituency to his love for birthplace and people.

Adekoya who is popularly called "Attacker" has been on a projects facilitation spree, despite not currently enjoying the perks of office.

The ex-Rep member disclosed this to newsmen in his Ago Iwoye residence recently.

The immediate past Deputy Minority Whip of the Federal House of Representatives said his vision is to make his constituency compete with the world's best cities in terms of infrastructure.

According to him, service to the people is an opportunity he relishes, adding that he has performed creditably well in the two terms of his legislative experience.

He noted that spending time with his people is what drives him to do more for his community.

"I was born by farmers in a village. I grew up there. I was more than 10 years old before I knew Ijebu-Ode township. I grew up in a large family setting. I experienced life as it were. That communal spirit was instilled in me growing up."

"I travel a lot. Anytime I see any good thing, I always pray to Allah to be able to replicate same for my community. I have built Churches, despite my faith as a Muslim. I love staying with people. My family are living abroad and despite entreaties for me to stay there, I just can't live outside the comfort of my birthplace. I, Attacker, can't stay abroad for one month without being in Ago Iwoye. How would I live without hunting in Ago Iwoye? I hunt a lot. I have my rifle and also belong to hunting associations. I can't do all these freely in the abroad. My point is, I am too attached to my community. If I stay out of Ago Iwoye for a month, I will fall sick."

"What drives me is the love for my people. I love staying here in Ago Iwoye. There is this joy when I get something done for my people. It is an opportunity to serve and I relish it a lot. Even without being in office, we still have to do our best for our constituency. It's also a way for me to appreciate God's grace on my life. God has been very good to me."

When quizzed on his plans after office, Rt. Hon. Adekoya said he would return to his farm."

He said "I'm a farmer. I am retuning to my farm here in Ago Iwoye. I have done my best for my constituency. We have facilitated projects that have left people in disbelief. We have markets, light poles, ultra modern toilets, health centers, religious centres, town halls, schools, town roads, maternity hospitals, all within the federal Constituency."
