Don’t Forget Your Root, Says Tofowomo’s Aide to Ondo Indigenes in Diaspora

Ololade Adeyanju/

Ondo indigenes in Diaspora, especially those from Ondo South Senatorial District of the State have been urged not to forget their root, but support Senator Nicholas Tofowomo’s determination to ensure the development and improved life for the people of the district back home.

The call was made by the Special Adviser to the Senator on Diaspora and International Relations, Mr Olusegun Erinle, while expressing joy at the return of Senator Tofowomo to the National Assembly, after a serious auto accident.

The Special Adviser, who urged Ondo indigenes worldwide to be ready to support their root, said their exposure and expertise would be highly appreciated.

He added, “Senator Tofowomo is always on ground to enhance any foreign collaboration that would add value to the lives of his people.”

Thanking the senator’s colleagues, party loyalists, people from his senatorial districts, friends and families among others, Mr Erinle said that the September 5 accident involving four persons almost took the life of the senator, but his life was preserved to the glory of God.

“Now that he has returned to the Senate, we cannot but express joy at the benevolence of God for preserving him. He is better now; his commitment to serve his people and enact laws that would better the society is re-ignited,” he said.

Mr Erinle told how Senator Tofowomo was always discussing moving Ondo South forward, as well as improving the lots of his people through legislative means even on his sickbed, each time he visits the hospital. 

He also commended what he described as his leadership by example style and the belief in the Nigerian system as the Senator insisted on being treated in Nigeria.
