The incident in Ada, Boripe Local Government Area, Osun State, highlights the tension between constituents and their elected representatives when campaign promises are perceived as unfulfilled. Hon. Olusoji Adetunji, representing the Ifelodun/Boripe/Odo-Otin federal constituency in the House of Representatives, faced backlash from the residents during his visit ahead of the Sallah festivities.
A video circulating online captures the moment when the constituents confronted Adetunji, expressing their dissatisfaction with what they saw as inadequate Sallah handouts, especially given his apparent wealth.
The scene turned chaotic, with locals shouting and calling for the representative to be beaten.
One woman attempted to prevent the incident from being recorded, but the individual filming persisted, voicing strong criticisms against the representative and politicians in general, labeling them as "mad people."
This incident underscores the growing frustration among citizens who feel neglected by their elected officials and highlights the importance of accountability and fulfillment of campaign promises in maintaining public trust.
