What has Hon. Fowokanmi done for the constituents of the Ibadan South West in the last three years of representing them apart from running around as the governor ‘s errand boy I stead of staying by to legislate of qualitative bills and motions for the constituents. We need to engage him in a robust and intellectual discourse and not just jubilating in the euphoria of his nomination for the 2nd term by PDP.
