 On this he believes there would be much production of food and agricultural produce, aside the fact that the prices of the foodstuffs would come down drastically and naturally, but postulated it is compulsory the government creates an enabling environment, under which the farmers will be able to carry out their various agricultural activities, for their optimum profitability and the good of the nation and her citizenry.
 Concerning the area in which he coordinates as the Soya beans Chairman; he pledged that much preparation is going on to make sure his members increase on their production of Soya beans, so as to meet the market demand and thus exemplified that Soya beans; as a durable seeds of multiple value chain is of high demand in the market, because of its richness in protein but clarified that extra importation of the seed is done to complement the home demand, but hopeful that there is auspicious future for more production of it .

"If we can set up skill acquisition centres to give jobs to a lot of people following us then it is certain it would help boost up the nation's economy as well- ADC Oyo State House of Assembly Ibadan North West, ward 11; Hon. Akindipe Ahmed Abiodun Akinsumnbo

REPORT:

 When the Federal government passed the bill on the "Not too young to run"  as inclusive right of the youth in Nigeria to participate fully, in the political activities in Nigeria; little the government knows that it would bring development to the political activities in Nigeria and the influx of some bright, brilliant, intelligent and focused set of the auspicious young politicians, into the political arena of the Nigerian politics and thus recently here we came across a young politician with name Akindipe Ahmed Abiodun Akinsumnbo under ADC Party in Oyo state, a candidate contesting for a seat in the Oyo State House of Assembly come 2019 election, this chap has traveled far and wide, yet very humble, gentle, enterprising and  receptive, while he is also determined that with God Almighty's support; he is billed to win a seat in the OYHA come 2019, to serve his people, to the best of his ability, experience and knowledge regarding global understanding of what politics and democracy ought to be about, in the amelioration of his people's problems, to provide an enabling environment and good standard of livings to the people of his constituency.
 And here underneath we unwind-ed on the reported version of our chat with him recently

 Honourable Akindipe Ahmed  Akinsumnbo under the ADC Party in Oyo state from Ward 11 Eleyele, Ibadan under Ibadan North West Local Government had his political career right from 2002 under ANPP, when his father was fully engaged in ANPP contesting for councillorship seat then, but  later joined PDP in 2007 under the gubernatorial candidate; Yekini Adeojo who couldn't get the ticket as he lost the ticket to Ex Oyo State Governor Alao Akala, yet the young chap remained in PDP, which as fate would have it he had to travel to Abeokuta on professional assignment, representing an Insurance Company, Branch Manager then, while since then he had been nursing an ambition to win a seat, as an honourable in the Oyo State House of Assembly, hence he acquainted his people of the constituency he belongs about it and they wholeheartedly gave him their support, due to some exemplary attributes of his, that they know would helped him a lot to represent them well, if given the opportunity to achieve the political position he aspires for..
 And this is the reason why he joined ADC with Senator/ Osi Olubadan of Ibadanland Senator Rashidi Ladoja  being his leader, but on the long run when Senator Rashidi Ladoja left ADC he thought over it that as a young breed and politician it is too early for him; to be jumping from one party to another, hence he remained in ADC; where he had gotten a ticket as candidate for a seat in the Oyo State House of Assembly come 2019 election, representing Ward 11 Ibadan North West Local Government Constituency.
  While responding to what structure his party ADC and him has presently to have believed in victory eventually, here he enunciated that party is just of logo and name, despite some descriptive importance attached to each party, in comparison with other parties, but the calibers and types of the people in the parties matter, and thus qualifying ADC Party as the party of the visionary, credible and considerate set of the politicians, that have the much concern for the welfare and good of the commoners, especially the downtrodden, who are the major electorates, that carry out their civic duties, to make sure democracy in actual fact exists, by this he bemoaned the shortcoming often from some politicians, failing to actualize their promises, as presented to the electorates, at their initial stage of canvassing to win the electorates to their sides and during the campaign, hence he lambasted it as being bad, but promised to make sure that he distant himself from such abnormality.
 However, he with candour vouched to described ADC Gubernatorial Candidate in Oyo State Senator Femi Olugbade Lanlehin as a truly tested, trusted and visionary leader, who when he served as senator had done a lot for his people, with nine local governments under him having evidence to justify his credibility and thus; sermonized to augment his point, that with good heart, it would be easy for anybody to be led to good end of any aspiration, hence his good heart for his people and his belief in God are the only requisite on which he relies, to see him through, to be one of the members of the next Oyo State House of Assembly come 2019.
 On what he has on ground for his people; the amiable young politician Ahmed Akinsumnbo stressed to empower his people, among many other programmes he has, by having a skill acquisition center established, to trained a lot of the members following them to be professionally independent and thus give them the necessary equipment with financial support after training them, to enable them serve as wealth creators; contributing optimally to the development of the country's economy.
 He further expressed his pity to the present state of the country's economic hardship, which has been bedeviling the people of the country, while he call on the leaders in the country to promptly come into their rescue, to help ameliorate their suffering.
 Therefore, he advised the Nigerian youth to come on board politically and not be dissuaded by their erroneous believe that without the elders or godfather, there could not be a head-way for them to do well in politics, with this he chided the Nigerians not to be bought with money, in order not to jeopardize the future the nation and that of her people and the unborn generation, but to vote the right kind of people and politicians into the rein of governance, to move the country forward, for the good of all and sundry.
