Tolulope Akande-Sadipe, to one of the chieftains of her political party, Alhaji Razak Akilapa.<\/p>\n<p>The group described the donation as a misplaced priority.<\/p>\n<p>The declarations were made in a statement issued and made available to DAILY POST on Saturday in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.<\/p>\n<p>The statement was signed by the group\u2019s Chairman, Comrade Emmanuel Shodimu, and Secretary, Esther Tolase.<\/p>\n<p>DAILY POST gathered that the lawmaker recently donated the Lexus SUV to Alhaji Razak Akilapa, a leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the federal constituency, during his 85th birthday.<\/p>\n<p>However, OPF described the lawmaker\u2019s action as a misplaced priority at a time when the majority of her constituents are suffering.<\/p>\n<p>The group noted that the money used to purchase the car could have been used to transform the lives of hundreds of constituents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is absurd. It is unreasonable. If they are making so much money in the House of Representatives, wisdom dictates that it should be spent wisely to better the lives of constituents rather than on unproductive luxury cars.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis humongous sum, if used wisely, could have transformed the lives of 60 persons in the federal constituency for life. It would have impacted families and uplifted economic activities in the local government area. But our own honourable chose to gift a 15m naira unproductive car to an 85-year-old man. Sad!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFurthermore, the Oluyole Progressive Force, whose members are mainly registered APC members, lamented that the House of Representatives member chose to satisfy a single person while residents and traders on the street leading to Olomi Primary School, used for weekly APC meetings, have been complaining bitterly about the poor state of the road for more than a decade.
