Senator Buhari AbdulFatai, Ph.D., representing Oyo North Senatorial District, has called for more federal government interventions to accelerate development in the district, particularly in healthcare, security and education.
The senator made this known during his appearance on Arise TV with Charles yesterday, where he discussed his recent visit to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and commended the President for his support for the establishment of the Federal University of Okeho in Oyo State.
Senator Buhari expressed appreciation to President Tinubu for signing the bill establishing the university, describing it as a significant step towards expanding access to higher education and promoting development in the region.
He also made a humorous remark about his earlier expectation that former President Muhammadu Buhari, his namesake, would sign the bill, noting that the former president had signed legislation concerning Daura.
Speaking on the political prospects of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State and Oyo North, the senator expressed confidence in the party’s chances, citing President Tinubu’s performance in office. However, he stressed the importance of delivering more tangible dividends of democracy to the people to strengthen public confidence in the government.
As part of his efforts to attract further federal presence to the district, Senator Buhari has sought President Tinubu’s intervention in the establishment of a Federal Medical Centre in Igboho and a military formation in Oriire Local Government Area.
The proposed projects are expected, if approved and implemented, to improve access to quality healthcare, strengthen security and stimulate socioeconomic development across the district.
The senator’s approach underscores the importance of connecting political representation with practical solutions to the needs of constituents. Beyond electoral considerations, the push for these federal projects reflects the need for sustained investment in institutions and infrastructure that can improve the lives of the people.
For Oyo North, the real measure of representation lies not only in political promises but also in the ability to attract projects that deliver lasting benefits to communities.
Senator Buhari AbdulFatai’s appeal for federal intervention therefore places healthcare, security and education at the centre of the development conversation in Oyo North.
