A group of youths under the auspices of the Idanre/Ifedore Youth Coalition said that it had begun mobilising the people of the constituency to start the process of recalling the lawmaker.
The group alleged that Baderinwa had abandoned the constituency for a long time, adding that he had not made any positive impact in the lives of his constituents since he started representing them in the National Assembly.
The APC youth leader in Ifedore local Government, Mr. Adewale Adekunle, who spoke with The Polity yesterday Akure, said no action of recalling any lawmaker was taking place in the federal constituency .
Adekunle stressed that those calling for the recall of the lawmaker was a faceless group, noting that the people of the constituency were satisfied with the achievements of Baderinwa and there was no reason for his recall.
The APC youth leader enumerated some of the projects executed by the lawmaker as the electrification of communities; grading and maintenance of roads, provision of motorized boreholes, distribution of cocoa pesticides and cash gift to 300 farmers and empowerment of aged people in the constituency with cash donations.
“We wish to state clearly that Bamidele Baderinwa has not defaulted on giving our constituency its deserved quality representation at the National Assembly. He has neither abandoned his people nor the constituency.
“He visits the constituency regularly and operates two functional constituency offices, one at Idanre and the other at Ifedore local government, where complaints are collated and attended to. There are evidences of his projects and philanthropic activities across the constituency.
“The youth group (the Idanre/Ifedore Youth Coalition) is unknown in our federal constituency. As the APC youth leader, I know all the youth groups in the constituency but the one calling for the recall of Baderinwa is faceless and fake.
“There is nothing like starting the process of recalling our representative in the National Assembly. The main objective of the sponsors of the faceless group is to undermine the popularity of our party in the federal constituency by casting the lawmaker in bad light.”
Adewale, who alleged that some unidentified APC chieftains in the state were the sponsors of the purported recall process, appealed to members of the party in the federal constituency to be united and worked for the progress of the party in the constituency.
