Tajudeen Olesin Foundation Begins 8th Free Summer Lesson, reaffirm it's commitment to improving access to quality Education in Kwara

The Tajudeen Olesin Foundation has flagged off the eighth edition of its Annual Free Summer Lesson Programme, reaffirming its commitment to improving access to quality education for students in Kwara State.

The programme, which commenced on Tuesday at Government Day Secondary School, Amule, Ilorin, is expected to provide weeks of intensive academic coaching, mentorship and character-building sessions for hundreds of students, with volunteer teachers leading the initiative.

Speaking at the opening of the programme, the founder of the Foundation, Ambassador Ibrahim Tajudeen Shola Olesin, said the initiative was conceived a decade ago as a modest intervention to support public education but has since evolved into a platform that has positively transformed the lives of thousands of young learners.

He recalled that although the programme was suspended for two years during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Foundation remained steadfast in its commitment to educational development and youth empowerment.

According to him, education remains the most valuable investment any society can make, stressing that every child deserves access to quality learning opportunities, academic guidance and the confidence to pursue a brighter future regardless of their background.

"This programme is our own way of complementing government's efforts in improving educational outcomes. We believe that when young people are equipped with knowledge, discipline and the right values, they become catalysts for positive change in society," Olesin said.

He urged participating students to maximise the opportunity by remaining focused throughout the exercise, asking questions freely and believing in their ability to excel despite life's challenges.

"Your background should never determine your destination. Stay committed, work hard and make the best use of this opportunity," he advised.

The Foundation also expressed appreciation to the volunteer teachers, parents, community leaders and partners whose continuous support has sustained the annual programme over the years.

Olesin noted that the sacrifices and dedication of the volunteers have been instrumental in ensuring that the initiative continues to provide academic support and inspire young people to achieve their educational aspirations.

The annual summer lesson has become one of the Foundation's flagship educational interventions, offering free academic support to students during the long vacation while promoting discipline, leadership and personal development.

The Foundation expressed optimism that this year's edition would further strengthen its mission of nurturing future leaders and contributing meaningfully to the development of education in Kwara State.

*THE WINNING PATH TO KWARA SOUTH: WHY IREPODUN DESERVES THE PDP SENATORIAL TICKET*

As the 2027 general elections approach, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has a unique opportunity to make a bold and strategic decision that will strengthen party unity, uphold the principles of equity, and position the party for victory in Kwara South.

Since the return to democratic rule in 1999, the Kwara South Senatorial seat has been occupied by representatives from Offa, Ekiti, and Oyun Local Governments, while Irepodun, Ifelodun, Oke-Ero, and Isin have never produced a Senator. Zoning the PDP Senatorial ticket to Irepodun Local Government is therefore not only a matter of justice and fairness but also a reaffirmation of the party’s enduring commitment to inclusiveness, balanced representation, and internal democracy.

Beyond the compelling case for equity lies an even stronger argument electability. The goodwill and momentum generated by the PDP during the last Local Government elections remain strong across the Igbomina axis. Today, our respected elders, Opinion leaders, political leaders, youth, women, professionals, business leaders, and sons and daughters, both at home and in the diaspora, are united in their resolve to work tirelessly for the PDP if the ticket is entrusted to Irepodun.

The Igbomina people are prepared to match their commitment with action. We stand ready to mobilize our moral, financial, human, and political resources to secure victory. Every ward, every community, every stakeholder, and every eligible voter will be engaged to ensure the PDP not only wins the Kwara South Senatorial election but also records overwhelming victories across the district.

This appeal is not intended to diminish the aspirations or contributions of any other local government. Rather, it is a sincere call for fairness, political balance, and a strategic decision that will unite our party, energize the grassroots, expand our electoral support, and enhance the PDP’s chances of reclaiming its mandate in 2027.

The time is now. The momentum is on our side. The commitment is unwavering.

*For Equity. For Unity. For Electability. For Victory*

*IREPODUN LOKAN. IGBOMINA LOKAN. PDP VICTORY 2027*

*A CALL FOR EQUITY - AN APPEAL TO THE PDP LEADERSHIP* *IGBOMINA LOKAN*

We respectfully appeal to our revered National Leader, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, GCON, our esteemed State Chairman, Hon. Issa Adamu BAWA, the State Working Committee, and the entire leadership of our great party to give thoughtful consideration to the aspiration of the Igbomina people for the Kwara South Senatorial ticket.

For decades, the Kwara South Senatorial seat has been occupied by candidates from the Ekiti and Ibolo axis. In the spirit of fairness, equity, justice, and inclusiveness, we believe the time has come for the Igbomina people to be given the opportunity to produce the next PDP Senatorial candidate.

Igbomina has consistently demonstrated unwavering loyalty to the PDP and has remained a dependable pillar of the party in Kwara South. Today, we possess the political strength, experienced leadership, credible aspirants, and extensive grassroots support needed not only to secure the party’s ticket but also to win the senatorial election.

Our people are fully prepared morally, politically, organizationally, and financially to support any credible candidate that emerges from Igbomina land. More importantly, we are united in purpose and committed to working tirelessly for the victory of our great party.

This appeal is not merely about political representation; it is about strengthening the principles of justice, equity, inclusion, and strategic party building. Giving Igbomina this opportunity will deepen unity within the PDP, inspire greater commitment among party faithful, broaden our electoral support across Kwara South, and significantly enhance our chances of victory in the 2027 general election.

We therefore humbly urge our National Leader, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, GCON, our State Chairman, Hon. Issa Adamu BAWA, the State Working Committee, and all stakeholders of our great party to seize this strategic moment by considering Igbomina for the Kwara South PDP Senatorial ticket.

IGBOMINA L’OKAN

We firmly believe that this decision will reaffirm the PDP’s commitment to fairness, justice, equity, and inclusiveness while positioning our great party for a resounding victory in 2027.

Equity today will guarantee victory tomorrow.

*A POLITICAL WARNING — DON’T IGNORE IGBOMINA’S ELECTORAL STRENGTH*

The decision on where the Kwara South Senatorial ticket goes in 2027 will have consequences far beyond the Senate race. We must not allow short-term interests, sectional pressure or poor counsel to jeopardise the larger political project.

Zoning the Senatorial ticket to Offa at this moment could be a serious political miscalculation. Igbomina remains one of the strongest political blocs in Kwara South, with significant grassroots presence and electoral strength. Ignoring this reality could create dissatisfaction, weaken mobilisation and make our collective path to victory more difficult.

We cannot afford to lose the Kwara South Senate seat for a third consecutive time. Another defeat would not be an isolated Senate loss; it could weaken the PDP’s momentum and negatively affect our chances in the House of Representatives, State Assembly and Governorship elections across the district.

More importantly, any decision that unnecessarily alienates Igbomina could have consequences for Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki’s political standing and long-term relationship with the people of Igbomina and Kwara South. This is why the decision must be guided by electoral realities, fairness and strategic political calculation not sentiment, personal interests or the assurances of individuals pursuing narrow political objectives.

*OUR MESSAGE TO OUR LEADER IS CLEAR - BEWARE OF THE BAIT*

Listen to the people. Examine the numbers. Study the political realities. Consider the consequences.

This is not an attack on Offa or the good people of Offa. It is a call for strategic political wisdom. The question before us is simple:

Which decision gives the PDP the strongest pathway to victory in 2027?

If we genuinely want to win, Igbomina must be given serious consideration for the Kwara South Senatorial ticket. Equity, electoral strength, political balance and, most importantly, the need to win must guide the decision.

One wrong decision can cost us more than the Senate. It can weaken the entire political structure of the PDP across Kwara South. We cannot afford that risk.

Our leader, history will judge the decision made at this critical moment. Choose wisely. Listen to the people. Protect the larger political project.

Don’t play into the hands of your enemies who have already penetrated you with this bait.

*IGBOMINA LOKAN*
