The Social Democratic Party (SDP) candidate for the 2027 Oyo State House of Assembly election in Ibadan North East Constituency II, Hon. Arafat Adedeji, has unveiled an ambitious agenda focused on job creation, women empowerment, and social welfare programmes aimed at improving the lives of residents across the constituency.
Arafat made the pledge while receiving her Certificate of Participation and Return at a colourful ceremony held at the SDP State Secretariat, where she was officially presented as the party’s candidate for the 2027 general election.
Speaking at the event, the SDP standard-bearer emphasized her commitment to championing developmental legislation and community-based projects that would benefit youths, women, widows, widowers, and other vulnerable groups if elected into the Oyo State House of Assembly.
She outlined several priority areas of her proposed legislative agenda, including the establishment of healthcare centres, construction of erosion-control drainage systems, installation of solar-powered street lights, educational support initiatives, and the provision of interest-free soft loans to traders and small business owners.

In their remarks, party supporters and community stakeholders described Arafat as a woman of integrity and strong character. They expressed confidence in her leadership qualities and urged her to remain committed to her promises should she secure victory at the polls.
