Speaking with newsmen, Afolabi Pamilerin, an undergraduate student at Ekiti State University Ado-Ekiti, while commending the reps member for the initiative called for more intervention, particularly in the area of agriculture.
She said: “I feel good about this free healthcare. It helps people that are less-privileged that cannot afford healthcare. We want more in agriculture. They should help people with agricultural tools and equipments and lands to cultivate their crops.”
Also, Mrs Adeyemi Oluwatoyin said that the Reps Spokesperson is an excellent and visionary leader, who has prioritized the welfare of his constituents.
In the same vein, Mrs Folade Olabinku said, “I have to say a very big thank you to him. He has been doing a wonderful job and I pray that God will strengthen him to do more. He is a man of the people and we pray he gets re-elected for another term.”
