A former member of the House of Representatives, Hon Abiodun Abudu-Balogun clocks a year today.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Typically, the Ogun Waterside local government born politician who has his eyes on the national assembly seat in 2023 on the platform of All Progressives Congress APC would not roll out drums in celebration of the day as he is widely known to be a quiet personality, but sources close to him disclosed that he has other plans to make the day a memorable one.<\/p>\n

It was gathered that Hon Abiodun Abudu-Balogun who has seen the day as a time to reflect on the past success stories and challenges, held a prayer session in the early hours of the day to give thanks to God for sparing his life.<\/p>\n

And in a more grand way, the former federal lawmaker will be reaching out to the needy, indigent students and the less privileged in the society.<\/p>\n

According to him, the period he will be spending with this class of the society will bring more joy to him than merrimaking.<\/p>\n

\n

Hon Abudu Balogun had during his days in the national assembly better the lots of several people in the three local governments he represented. He is seen by many people as a quiet giver whose low-key lifestyle is worth emulating.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
