The Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Adeoye Stephen Aribasoye, has applauded the spouses of members of the 7th Assembly for their outstanding community outreach, particularly their recent health-focused initiative across the state.
In a statement personally signed by the Speaker, he extended special appreciation to his wife, Mrs. Adenike Modupe Aribasoye, and the entire team of lawmakers’ spouses, describing their intervention as a “shining example of leadership, compassion and genuine service.”
According to Rt. Hon. Aribasoye, the group’s outreach to health centres across Ekiti State has not only delivered vital medical supplies to communities in need, but has also redefined the traditional role of lawmakers’ spouses in public service.
“This initiative has pioneered a novel and vital role for spouses in the realm of community service,” the Speaker said. “You have shown that your role is not merely ceremonial, but critical in promoting a culture of care, responsibility and people-driven leadership.”
He noted that the team’s consistent dedication to humanitarian service reflects the values the 7th Assembly seeks to embody — leadership rooted in empathy, action and results.
“You have set a high standard, showing that true leadership encompasses caring for the well-being of our citizens,” he added. “I am immensely proud of your teamwork and the positive impact you continue to make.”
While urging them to remain steadfast in their noble mission, Speaker Aribasoye prayed for divine strength and guidance as they continue to uplift communities across the state.
“Your efforts are a clear reminder that with love and shared purpose, we can build a better society,” he concluded.
The outreach initiative, which provided medical supplies and support to primary health centres, has been widely lauded by beneficiaries and stakeholders within the health sector for its timely intervention and grassroots impact.
