The Director General (DG) of the Boroffice campaign organization in the 2019 general election, Barr. Tolu Babaleye, has described the 12 years of Senator Ajayi Boroffice as the “worst thing” to happen to the people of the Northern Senatorial District of Ondo State.
Babaleye said this while featuring on a current affairs program on an Akure-based radio station, Adaba FM, on Monday.
He said the senatorial district, which comprises four Akoko local government areas, Owo and Ose local government areas, has gone backward in all ramifications since the inception of the 12 years of Senator Boroffice in the National Assembly.
The human rights lawyer said Senator Boroffice has no empowerment project for the people since he was given the mandate 12 was years ago, adding that the federal lawmaker has abandoned the constituents.
Babaleye further challenged the Senate Leader to mention any physical project he has completed since he became a senator, noting that the district was bedeviled by insecurity and bad road network which have led to lost of many lives, especially in the local government area where Senator Boroffice hails from.
He added that the senator failed to secure employment opportunities in federal ministries and agencies for the unemployed youths as evident in other senatorial districts.

He said the people were angry with Senator Boroffice for taking the appointments which would have been of benefit to them to his acolyte in Akure and Osun State.
The lawyer, who was recently appointed DG of the Alex Ajipe Senatorial campaign organization, said his fallout with Senator Boroffice was not about personal grudges or gains, but the development of Ondo North Senatorial District and uplifting the lives of the people.
He said: “If given the opportunity to serve as a Senator of the federal republic of Nigeria, Alex Ajipe will make the much awaited difference and the people will enjoy the dividends of democracy.”
Babaleye, who said Ajipe had influenced over 350 million US dollars investment to Ondo state through the Ondo linyi hub and has generated employment opportunities for over two thousand people despite not elected or appointed into government services, stated that he would do more if given the chance.
He added that the people of Ondo North, especially the Akokos, were ready to change the narrative after 12 years of Senator Boroffice’s stay in the Senate and have given Ajipe warm reception, making the vibrant entrepreneur the candidate to beat in the All Progressives Congress (APC) primaries.
