I speak today of a phenomenon that is simply the rave of the moment and the wave that the people of the Ado-Odo/Ota federal constituency weave around to his side.
High Chief Seriki Lanre Bashorun LARRYBASH is an influential figure in Awori land, Ogun State, with notable contributions to the community’s growth through developmental strides, alleviating poverty, peace-building efforts, and commitment to helping the people.
As a prominent member of Olota-in-Council, the highest legislative chamber in the Otta kingdom, Seriki Lanre Bashorun plays a critical administrative role in the palace and community administration.
Seriki Lanre Bashorun, Olota’s chief of staff, has not only worked as a rallying figure behind the Olota of Otta’s efforts and plans in repositioning the ancient kingdom, but he has also equally offered support to other Awori monarchs to develop Awori land generally.
These efforts have been noticed by the people of the Ado-Odo/Ota federal constituency, who beckoned him to represent them at the National Assembly (Green Chamber) in 2027.
His goal is simply to build on existing experience, understanding, and achievements as a traditional legislator, ensuring the continuation of progress for the constituency in the modern/civic legislative house—the federal House of Representatives.
Indeed, the combination of native and modern legislative experience positions Seriki Lanre Bashorun LARRYBASH to offer the people of the Ado-Odo/Ota federal constituency a unique public service that bridges the two complementary spheres.
The journey from Olota-in-Council, Ota, to the Federal House of Representatives, Abuja, is a transition that the populace is anxiously awaiting its successful arrival.
It will be the arrival of an era that leverages modern legislative authority to address local problems and drive positive change in the constituency.
