NNPP South‑West chieftain Ambassador Oguntoyinbo calls for job creation and empowerment from political leaders.
Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, South‑West chieftain of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, has publicly urged Nigerian political leaders to focus on measurable societal contributions through job creation and empowerment initiatives.
Speaking at a public event in Ibadan marking his reception of the Father Abraham Distinguished Award, Oguntoyinbo emphasized that political office is a tool for development, not merely a platform for gain. He encouraged officeholders to invest in youth training, small businesses, and community infrastructure.
He noted that tangible progress, particularly for underserved groups, is the best legacy a public servant can leave. “Job creation is not just policy—it is empowerment in action,” he stated.
Oguntoyinbo’s remarks have sparked debate across social and traditional media, with many applauding the emphasis on accountability, while others questioned how such messages translate into concrete policies and follow-up.
