Only a few senatorial district are lucky to have a federal lawmaker in the mould of Senator Olubunmi Adetunmbi, the representative of Ekiti North senatorial district as their representative.
Since he was elected in 2011 to the National Assembly, and regain the seat in 2019 Adetunmbi has remained consistent in serving the people of Ido/Osi, Moba, Ilejemeje, Oye and Ikole local government comprising the zone, by protecting their interest and bringing to them what in Nigerian political parlance is known as the dividends of democracy.
Certainly, the people of the senatorial district, one of the only few in the Southern Senatorial Districts of the zone, can give themselves kudos for not making a mistake in sending him to represent them at the National Assembly.
His numerous empowerment projects and programmes to his constituents right from when he became the member of the National Assembly is evergreen. Women, men, youths , both male and female got empowered to move to the next level of their economic endeavors.
The most recent projects which some desperate people want to pull him down for attracting to his constituency are:

Student Welfare Package:

Breakdown for Spending of the Donation:
For the five LGAs, the Federal lawmaker gifted 200,000 naira each to the 56 wards in the Senatorial District; 10,000 naira each to all the Iyalojas/Iyalajes; 60,000 naira each to Women Chiefs across the senatorial district; 300,000 naira to Ekiti North APC women stakeholders and 1.5 million naira to APC Leaders in the Senatorial District.
The support which Adetunmbi is enjoying from his constituents isn’t a question of happenstance, but a product of selfless service to his constituents and humanity.
