In a deeply emotional and politically defining moment, Hon. Tomisin Edu Falade has renounced her House of Representatives ambition, choosing instead to take her journey back to the grassroots by contesting for the Akure North State House of Assembly seat.
What began as a routine arrival turned into a historic reception at the airport, as a roaring crowd of supporters, party loyalists, and community members surged forward to welcome her.
Standing shoulder to shoulder with the state governor and party leaders, Tomisin was greeted with chants, tears of joy, and an outpouring of affection that underscored her connection with the people.
The atmosphere echoed her declaration that the party remains strong and firmly in control.
Visibly moved, Tomisin addressed the crowd with passion, her voice carrying both conviction and emotion as she explained the reason behind her unexpected decision.
“This is not just politics for me, this is personal,” she said. “After wide consultations with my family, respected political leaders, and stakeholders at both the state and federal levels, I listened to the heartbeat of the people… and it called me back home.”
Her words drew loud applause as she pledged absolute loyalty to the party, promising to stand by its decisions and contribute meaningfully to its vision.
“I am a loyal party woman, and I will always uphold the decisions of our great party,” she affirmed.
In a moment that electrified the crowd, Tomisin made a bold and heartfelt promise about her mission.
“If you give me this mandate, I will pour my heart, my strength, and my everything into serving you. I will be the best assembly member my constituency has ever known, not in words, but in action,” she declared, as cheers erupted across the gathering.
She emphasized that her vision goes far beyond political boundaries, promising inclusive development that reaches every corner of society.
“No one will be left behind. My service will not be confined, it will be felt by all,” she said passionately.
Tomisin also struck a unifying tone, calling on fellow aspirants to embrace peace and put the collective interest above personal ambition.
“This journey must not divide us. Let love, peace, and unity guide us as we build the future together,” she urged.
As the crowd continued to chant her name, one thing became clear: Tomisin’s return to grassroots politics is not just a strategic move, it is a powerful statement of purpose that could reshape the political destiny of Akure North.
