A resident of Ora Ekiti in Ido/Osi Local Government Area of Ekiti State, Mr. Boluwaji Emmanuel Oyeniran, has addressed an open letter to Senator Cyril Fasuyi, the lawmaker representing Ekiti North Senatorial District, over what he described as the persistent neglect of his community in the senator’s developmental programmes.
In the letter dated April 23, 2025, and obtained by SunshineReporters, Mr. Oyeniran expressed the growing frustration of Ora Ekiti residents who, according to him, have been completely sidelined from constituency empowerment schemes, employment opportunities, and infrastructural interventions since Senator Fasuyi took office.
“Ora Ekiti is one of the loyal and supportive communities that stood firmly with you during the 2023 general elections. Our sons and daughters turned out in significant numbers to cast their votes for you,” the letter reads.
The open letter noted that despite their political support, the town is yet to benefit from the senator’s initiatives. Mr. Oyeniran pointedly highlighted the case of a damaged electricity transformer, which has left the entire community in darkness for almost a year, stalling local businesses and impacting livelihoods.
He appealed to the senator to urgently intervene in restoring power to the town and to ensure Ora Ekiti is captured in future projects targeting youth empowerment, educational development, and infrastructure.
“We are a resilient and hardworking people, eager to contribute meaningfully to the progress of our senatorial district if given the opportunity,” he added.
While acknowledging the challenges involved in serving a broad and diverse senatorial district, the writer stressed that every town deserves fair representation and visible impact.
As at press time, Senator Fasuyi is yet to respond to the concerns raised in the letter.
Residents of Ora Ekiti are hopeful that this public appeal will prompt timely action and renewed attention to the community’s developmental needs.
