The Media Office of Hon. Olusola Steve Fatoba, Member representing Ado-Ekiti/Irepodun–Ifelodun Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, has strongly condemned what it described as renewed attempts by “politically sponsored narratives” aimed at distracting public attention from the lawmaker’s rising profile and widely acknowledged developmental achievements across the constituency.
In a statement issued in Ado-Ekiti, the office said it was not surprised by what it called “desperate propaganda efforts” from political actors unsettled by Hon. Fatoba’s growing acceptance, visibility, and grassroots support across Ado-Ekiti and Irepodun–Ifelodun.
It noted that as political activities gradually intensify, it is expected that individuals and groups who lack comparable records of performance would resort to misinformation and emotional rhetoric in an attempt to distort public perception.
The office, however, maintained that no amount of political agitation or sponsored commentary can erase the “clear and verifiable footprint” of Hon. Fatoba’s representation.
According to the statement, Hon. Fatoba’s legislative engagements in the House of Representatives include sponsorship and strong advocacy for key development-oriented bills such as the establishment of the Federal College of Nursing and Midwifery, Ado-Ekiti, the National Rice Production, Processing and Research Institute in Igbemo-Ekiti, and the Root Crops Production and Research Institute in Igede-Ekiti.
It added that he has also remained active in national legislative duties, contributing to motions and debates on critical issues including flooding, energy challenges, banking sector reforms, telecommunications privacy, port-related extortion, and correctional service reforms.
On constituency development, the office stated that Hon. Fatoba’s record remains visible and widely distributed across communities, with projects including classroom construction and renovation, ICT centres, laboratory equipment, solar-powered streetlights, boreholes, road grading, drainage works, and community infrastructure upgrades.
“These are not promises; they are physical projects that residents see and use daily across wards,” the statement emphasized.
In the health sector, the Media Office highlighted the equipping and solar-powered installation of the Erelu Bisi Fayemi Health Centre, support to Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital (EKSUTH), and sustained free medical outreach programmes across the constituency.
On empowerment, it disclosed that over 1,500 youths, women, traders, and farmers have benefited from structured programmes involving vocational training, ICT skills acquisition, agricultural support initiatives, and distribution of productive tools such as sewing machines, generators, grinding machines, and other business-starting equipment.
The office further stressed that Hon. Fatoba remains one of the most accessible and grassroots-connected representatives in the constituency, maintaining regular engagement with communities and stakeholders across wards.
It urged the public to disregard what it described as “desperate political noise,” insisting that leadership is measured by results, consistency, and impact, not propaganda or emotional storytelling.
The statement concluded that Hon. Olusola Steve Fatoba remains firmly focused on consolidating his development strides and strengthening representation for Ado-Ekiti and Irepodun–Ifelodun Federal Constituency despite what it termed “politically motivated distractions.”
