According to Dr. Taiwo Fasoranti, the immediate former Secretary to the Ondo State Government (SSG), President Bola Tinubu took office during a pivotal period in Nigerian history.
In an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Akure, Fasoranti, the son of Afenifere national leader Pa Reuben Fasoranti, made this claim. He claimed that the president had addressed many of the issues facing the nation.
"Everyone can see the benefits of democracy. Although we haven't arrived yet, I think we will given the reforms that have been implemented thus far. "The dollar-to-naira exchange rate has begun to decline, which indicates that the economy is stabilizing.
He stated, Additionally, deliberate attention is being paid to insecurity. "Security issues are a worldwide concern." Fasoranti further noted that the president’s Renewed Hope Agenda had yielded positive results for the country.
“All we can do is support him to ensure that the initiatives aimed at strengthening our democracy are sustained by encouraging and backing these laudable projects. “Clearly, no one has been left behind.
He said, “I believe Tinubu has performed well. Another four-year term will further secure his legacy in the annals of history. “In 2027, I am 110 per cent confident of his victory. I have no doubt in my mind.”
Speaking on his desire to represent Ondo Central Senatorial District, Fasoranti stated that his desire to serve the people was the driving force behind his decision to run.
“I believe our people deserve quality representation, purposeful leadership, and committed service. I also believe we can do better than what we currently have.
“My goal is to serve my community and ensure they benefit from the dividends of democracy under the present administration, where I served as SSG. “The state is currently on a steady path under the leadership of Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa. The best we can do is attract more federal presence in this dispensation.
He said, “This will help stabilise ongoing programmes and sustain them while introducing fresh ideas from the federal level.” The former SSG added that, given his background and grounding in Afenifere’s Omoluabi ethos, he would remain accountable to the people.
Fasoranti said he had consulted widely and adequately prepared before joining the senatorial race, and expressed confidence in victory. He also noted that his experience as a physician who worked at the presidential villa for 15 years, as well as his network of allies, would be beneficial to the district.
"I am familiar with Abuja, and I think that going back there as a senator will be very beneficial to Ondo Central. “We are not novices when it comes to delivering development. Our track record speaks for itself,” he said.
According to NAN, Fasoranti resigned on April 3 in order to run for the Ondo Central Senatorial seat in the general elections of 2027 after being designated SSG by Ayedatiwa in 2024.
