Speaking on why NANS pitched its tent with Akande-Sadipe, Akinteye said, “She has built different school facilities in Oluyole Federal Constituency that have provided a good learning environment for pupils. Recently, she presented a bill to make JAMB valid for three years; she is a thoughtful woman”.
Akinteye urged her to put more efforts in effectively developing the students’ Constituency, saying Youths and Students in the constituency are committed to voting for her.
The other students who took turns to speak, unanimously, declared support for Rep. Tolulope Akande-Sadipe based on her performance in the House of Representatives in Abuja.
