~Market Leaders Pledge Support for Tinubu, APC
Barely days after the lawmaker representing Ibarapa East/Ido federal constituency, Hon. Remi Oseni donated a sum of fifty million naira (N50m) to traders in Agbeni market, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for Oyo South Senatorial District, Aderemi Oseni, has replicated the gesture for motor parts dealers at the Araromi Gate Market in Ibadan, Oyo State by unveiling N90million financial support.
Engr Oseni announced the intervention on Saturday during an engagement with traders at the market.
The package comprises a N50 million interest-free revolving loan and a N40 million grant for traders operating in the four major sections of the market — car, lorry, tyre and iron.
In addition to the financial support, Oseni donated 100 solar-powered streetlights to the market and pledged to take responsibility for the monthly salaries of the market’s Baale and chiefs.
The lawmaker said the intervention was designed to strengthen the businesses of the traders and improve their contribution to the local economy.
He said, “The motor parts dealers are critical drivers of the local economy. We must continue to support them so that they can expand their businesses, improve their livelihoods and contribute more to the economy.”

Oseni explained that the N50 million revolving loan would be provided without interest, while the N40 million grant would serve as an empowerment package for traders across the four sections of the market.
He said the provision of solar-powered streetlights was also intended to improve security and extend the conducive environment for commercial activities within the market.
The APC candidate further called on the traders to continue supporting the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, saying the Federal Government’s reforms were beginning to produce positive results.
He also appealed for the support of the traders for APC candidates in the state, expressing confidence that the party would emerge victorious in the forthcoming elections.
