As political activities gather pace ahead of the 2027 general election, conversations across Akure North and South Federal Constituency are increasingly centring on one question: who possesses the experience, capacity and grassroots connection to deliver effective representation at the House of Representatives?
For many political observers and supporters of the Allied People’s Movement (APM), Hon. Princess Kemisola Adesanya has become one of the leading figures in that conversation, having built a reputation over the years as a lawmaker whose impact extended beyond legislative debates to tangible community development.
Unlike many aspirants whose campaigns are anchored on fresh promises, Princess Kemisola’s supporters point to what they describe as an impressive record of service, empowerment and constituency interventions during her eight-year stint in the Ondo State House of Assembly.
A former Chairperson of the House Committee on Women Affairs and Social Development and Deputy Chairperson of the House Committee on Health, she distinguished herself through initiatives that addressed healthcare, youth empowerment, education and social welfare.
Among the landmark interventions credited to her are legislative efforts to improve maternal healthcare through the Abiye Safe Motherhood Programme, advocacy for social security support for unemployed youths and sustained campaigns to preserve Yoruba language and cultural heritage.
Away from legislative duties, Princess Kemisola left visible footprints across communities in Akure through projects that directly touched the lives of ordinary people.
Schools benefited from classroom blocks, computers, laboratory equipment and educational materials, while several communities gained improved access to electricity through the installation of transformers and clean water through motorised boreholes and mono-pumps.
Her empowerment programmes equally became a major attraction, with widows, artisans and unemployed youths receiving motorcycles, sewing machines, grinding machines, hair dryers, vehicles and other tools to improve their livelihoods.
Many residents also recall her scholarship schemes, which opened educational opportunities for hundreds of pupils and students, as well as her advocacy for persons living with disabilities through the establishment of the Ondo State Agency for the Welfare of Persons with Disabilities.
Beyond government interventions, Princess Kemisola has continued to invest in human capital through the Kemisola Skills Acquisition and Empowerment Foundation, where thousands of young people have reportedly acquired vocational and entrepreneurial skills, alongside start-up equipment to launch their own businesses.
Her passion for youth development also found expression in sports. Through the annual Kemisola Peace Cup, thousands of young footballers have been given a platform to showcase their talents, with several participants reportedly advancing to professional opportunities both within and outside Nigeria.
The competition has also become a rallying point for promoting peace, unity and healthy engagement among youths across the constituency.
Academically accomplished, Princess Kemisola holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Public Administration from Lagos State University and an Advanced Diploma in Business Management from the Edinburgh School of Business, Scotland, credentials that complement her years of experience in governance and public administration.
Her leadership journey extends beyond elective office, having served in various organisations both in Nigeria and the United Kingdom, where she contributed to community development and democratic advocacy.
As campaigns intensify, many supporters believe her combination of legislative experience, proven constituency performance and long-standing engagement with grassroots communities places her in a strong position to represent Akure North and South Federal Constituency at the National Assembly.
For them, the election is not merely about electing another lawmaker, but about choosing someone whose record reflects commitment, accessibility and the capacity to attract meaningful development.
With the campaign entering a decisive phase, Princess Kemisola Adesanya is seeking to convince voters that the next chapter of representation for Akure North and South should be built on experience, service and results rather than promises alone.
