EMPOWERMENT:Idimogu Splashes N200m Worth Of POS Machines To  2,000 Beneficiaries

Determined to put smiles on the faces of people and to further empower his immediate communities , lawmaker, representing Oshodi/Isolo Constituency II of Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Jude Omobowale Idimogu, has doled out over two thousand Point of Sales(POS) machines.

Idimogu, in his efforts to build capacity for his constituents initiated the POS empowerment project valued at over N200 million in partnership  with a reputable Nigerian bank.

Some of the elated beneficiaries from different tribes and areas of Lagos who spoke with Journalists at the Constituency office of Hon. Idimogu, venue for the registration Ejigbo last Friday, appreciated the feat even as they prayed for return of the honourable member to the seat in the 2023 election to enable him continue with his unprecedented people oriented Programmes.

Hon. Idimogu it will be recalled had empowered the constituents and Lagosians in several ways by purchasing commercial buses , instituting talent hunt for young and talented footballers in connection with Roma Football Academy of Italy, some of who have been moved to Abuja and onward to Italy for trials.

He has also facilitated jobs placement in different ministries, departments, agencies and parastatals of Lagos State.

 

According to testimonies from some of the hopeful beneficiaries of the POS initiative, Hon Idimogu has no rival so long as Oshodi/Isolo is concerned saying what God is using him to do is unprecedented.

 

The constituents have vowed that nothing will stop them from supporting Idimogu’s re-election bid into the state Assembly, urging other politicians to emulate the good deeds of the lawmaker.

 

 

 

Alhaja Raliat Junaid, a resident of Ishaga, Ire Akari, Isolo, said the POS initiative will improve their livelihood and take them out of poverty.

 

“This is a good initiative and we want him to go back for second term because he does not practice favouritism. Despite being an Igbo man, he will attend to you except you don’t go and meet him.

 

“He carries all the tribes along. We pray that this will not be his last because we are at home with all he has continued to do, we want him to continue.

 

“On festive periods, he will share bags of rice and other food items. Despite the population of about one million in my estimation that come to his house, he makes sure everybody goes home happy.

 

Agbaje Adebisi, a trader said,” People like Hon Idimogu in leadership encourages others to grow, his vision electrifies the environment, and also grows a nation. I pray that the Lord keep him alive to continue his good works in governance.

 

“This project will boost the morale of people some of whom are fatherless and hungry. This opportunity to the youths in particular will reduce poverty and thuggery.

 

“I really appreciate the staff here. No form of arrogance in them. We are ready to go with him anywhere he goes, to vote him into power.

 

 

“This empowerment, I know is a continuous project. Even after this I have no doubt he will come with another bigger one.”

 

Irene Ogochukwu,  reiteriated that” I believe I can make a living through this project. I was into it before. Stopped when i ran out of cash. It’s a good business indeed.

 

“This will no doubt sustain people. I thank God for the gift of Idimogu to Oshodi/Isolo.

I encourage Lagosians who are looking for what to engage in to key into this vision.

 

 

Another resident of the constituency,  Adam Taiwo Oluwadamola ,”I had wanted to acquire this POS in the past but couldn’t do so for paucity of fund. This is a good idea that will help people a lot.

 

“It’s a very laudable concept by our Honourable. I have heard a lot of good things about him, let him continue on his good works.

 

“Let him continue to be himself.

As for Nigerian politicians, those doing good should continue, those doing bad should also continue. At the right time, the masses will speak, they will align with their true leaders, no amount of money will deter them

 

“Hon Jude should continue in his good works, the masses know those that genuinely have thier interest at heart.

 

“We will continue to draw it to politicians on the need to take away rigging so that our votes will count.

 

Esther Solomon, an Ejigbo resident,noted that

“I heard they were giving POS, so I decided to come and benefit from the sharing because the machine is expensive, I can’t afford it but I love the business.

 

“I am short of words for this vision of this Honourable’. I don’t need to be told he is indeed a good man. I did not known him before. I thought it’s a group that is behind this, I never knew it’s an individual, Hon Idimogu. May God bless him.

 

“I will always vote for him, he is the right person to vote for. I will vote for him and his party very many times.

 

“The country presently is upside down. He is the type of person we believe can rescue the poor masses from the grip of greedy and selfish politicians everywhere. I will convince others to vote for him also.

 

Uchenna Mbara, another resident of the community, pointed out” I am here for the POS empowerment initiated by our Honourable, Jude Omobowale Idimogu who is a man of the people.

 

“We are happy for this project as first of its kind, it has never happened before.

You can make your verifications. This project is a landmark in the history of empowerment by a politician around us here.

 

“He has set a standard very difficult for any other here to surmount. He is indeed a detribalised Nigerian. I urge other politicians to emulate his footsteps. Affecting lives positively is what we want, not making mouths, this is practical. The people can feel it.

 

“All of us here are testimonies of his good works. Proving to people that politics is selflessness.

 

 

“Idimogu has many empowerment programmes to his credit, not limited also to commercial buses to youths, tricycles and cars, also food items for people at festive periods as Sallah, Easter, Christmas, etc.

 

“He gives without looking at where you are coming from. He shares to the masses direct not through proxies that will keep for themselves and cronies.

He carries everyone along irrespective of party, age or race.

 

“He does his things in the open. This empowerment is a testimony to that.

 

“As for the upcoming election, he has won even before the voting starts, am too sure of that, he is man of the people.

 

“We feel him, he feels us, morning, afternoon, he is there. He doesn’t run away from the people. Unlike other politicians that live outside here. Any day, anytime you knock at his door, he is there.

 

“Run to him, tell him your problems, he will listen and solve them there and then.

 

“It’s not easy, but he is trying his best. We still need him here to set more examples before we move him to Abuja to go and teach them what it means to give quality representation.

 

“He deserves to be in Abuja. If he could do all these here, we are optimistic he will do more when sent to Abuja where he will recieve Constituency allowance.”
