The programme which started on Monday (yesterday) at Ileoluji town with medical examinations and tests for the residents of the local government includes the treatment of diagnosed ailments while surgery patients would be taken to the Federal Medical Center, Owo, at a later date for surgery.

Upon inquiry, Senator Tofowomo said his driving force is the love and affection he has for his people.

“What is driving me is the love and affection I have for my people. I love my people and I am part of them. I have been adding value since my university days. In the 80s, I was the general secretary of Ileoluji student union and we introduced a lot of activities to better the lives of the people.

“Ever since then, that spirit has remained in me; it is already part of me. Even when I was in the UK, I always come home to add value to my people. When the Ileoluji day celebration started, it was a one-day affair, I was the one that increased it to 5 days affair because I love my community and I can’t do without them”, he said.

The PDP Senator said the people would be treated for eye-related ailments, hypertension, diabetes and other medical complications. “Surgery patients would be taken to the Federal Medical Center at a later day for surgery”, Tofowomo added while responding to questions from Journalists.

Earlier, Hon. Fasola Kike, one of the beneficiaries, had underscored the importance of the programme and the unprecedented performance of the Senator. According to her, “Sen Tofowomo is the first Senator in the history of Ondo South that touches every sphere of human endeavour and the best the Senatorial District has ever produced”, she said.

While addressing journalists at the venue, the PDP Chairman in Ileoluji/Okeigbo LG, Hon. Elvis Akinfiresoye appreciated Senator for his kindness. “This medical intervention is a soothing relief for people with ailments who can’t afford medical bills”, he said.
