Backed byapcapcthe APC, Driven by Patriotism

With roots in public service through my father, Adebayo Owolabi (Isebere), a founding member of the Alliance for Democracy in Ekiti, I step forward under the All Progressives Congress to serve as Senator. My approach is shaped by inclusion, reform, and responsibility.

My Key Focus Areas

Over the years, I have seen the hard work and integrity of the Ekiti people with pride. Yet key challenges remain, from youth unemployment and educational disconnection to infrastructure gaps and limited entrepreneurial growth.

Youth Empowerment & Job Creation

Creating sustainable pathways to bridge skills and opportunities for Ekiti youth.

Youth Empowerment & Job Creation

In alignment with the Ekiti Youth Economic Empowerment Programme (EYEEP), my focus is skill development, supporting young entrepreneurs through grants, and enabling start-ups to create employment opportunities. The emphasis is on continuity, ensuring skills connect to market demand and enterprise growth than temporary placements.

Infrastructure

Building feasible infrastructure that supports livelihoods and improves everyday transit.

Infrastructure

The focus is on fixing roads, improving local transport, and providing basic infrastructure that connects communities and makes movement easier and safer. When infrastructure is useful and people can see the difference it makes in their daily lives, communities feel more connected and easier to reach.

Transparent Representation

Representing Ekiti North’s interests in national affairs through open communication, honest follow-through, and regular community interactions.

Transparent Representation

My focus is to strengthen Ekiti’s representation in national affairs by driving visible growth and practical outcomes. Drawing from professional experience in execution and problem-solving, this approach aims to complement government efforts and ensure local priorities are clearly represented and followed through.

Education & Healthcare

Strengthening schools and healthcare facilities to support dignified living and community growth across Ekiti.

Education & Healthcare

Improving existing schools through trained teachers and better infrastructure, while working on APC programmes like AGILE and ongoing public-school renovations across Ekiti. Priority is given to large-scale rehabilitation, especially in rural areas. In healthcare, the focus is on strengthening facilities so people can access reliable and affordable care closer to home.

Women Empowerment & Entrepreneurial Growth

Skills training, credit access, and mentorship for women and entrepreneurs to strengthen the local economy.

Women Empowerment & Entrepreneurial Growth

Practical vocational training, easier access to finance, and real business support, building on government initiatives such as the National Social Investment Programme(NSIP) through MarketMoni and TraderMoni. By strengthening skills, mentorship, and market access, more women and local entrepreneurs can grow sustainable businesses and create jobs within their communities.

Stronger Unity & Partnership

Advocating collaboration, trust, and shared progress across Ekiti communities.

Stronger Unity & Partnership

Bringing communities closer, encouraging cooperation between local groups, traditional institutions, professionals, and government bodies, and strengthening the spirit of partnership across Ekiti.
