Ismail Damola Fantola Contesting For Oyo State House Of Assembly by Mrop(m): 4:15pm On Oct 21, 2017
Meet the youngest candidate contesting for state house of Assembly member in Ibadan Oyo state.


Meet this young man contesting for state house of assembly member, Ibadan north constituency 1 in Ibadan Oyo state towards 2019 election under People's Democratic Party (P.D.P).
Who is this young man?

His name is Ismail Damola Fantola, an intelligent young man who have a great passion and ambition in politics.

He is very active in politics and a registered member of people's Democratic Party PDP. According to my research about him, he has a great passion for his community and for his people to allow them enjoy the benefits of government in Oyo state and especially in his constituency if voted in.

Youth are now coming out for political ambition and I think it's a good and welcome development because they still have the brain, fear of God and power to run the government without being greedy or self-centered. Let's support this development for the betterment of our great nation.

I will be publishing my recent interview with him where he will point out his ambition for his people in his community (Ibadan north constituency 1) and in Ibadan as a whole.

See some of his pics below

God bless Ibadan,
God bless Oyo state.
God bless Nigeria.

My recent interview with the youngest aspirant in the 2019 elections in Oyo state.


Read the full interview below


Que: Hello sir can we meet you?
Response : I'm Ismail Adedamola Fantola
Que : which school are you and what course are you studying ?
Response : I'm a student of Lautech, studying Agricultural Economics.

Que: when and why did you join politics?
Response : I was born into politics and I joined at a very early stage of my life. I joined because I am interested in making accountable representation for my people and to serve them with honesty.

Que : have you involved yourself in school politics before?
Response? NO

Que : who encouraged you to go into politics?
Response : I am always encouraged with whatever I am doing, and since I have been into politics for a long time, I'm willing to go further.
Que : under which political party are you contesting?
Response : People's Democratic Party

Que : why did you choose this party?
Response : I started politics under this party when Elder Wole Oyelese and others brought it to Oyo state, before we decamped to SDP in 2015 and came back to PDP after Senator Makarfi visited Oyo state for reconciliation meeting.

Que : As a young man do you think you will get support from the old people you met in the party?
Response : Well, the Not-too-young-to-run bill passed by the National Assembly is highly supported by elders and the good people of our society, so far, elders are supporting me.

Que : which post are you contesting for?
Response : member, Oyo state house of assembly, Ibadan north constituency 1.

Que : why did you choose this post ?
Response : because it is one of the major posts that will make me get closer to the people, I'm representing, I am a grass-root politician and I love my people.

Que : what are your aims and ambitions if you are eventually voted in?
Response : I will ensure true representation, transparency and accountability. Contribute to making laws that will make lives better for my people.

Que : we all know going for a political post needs good finance. Where are you getting your financial supports from?
Response : I get financial support from my parents and my well wishers.

Que : Are you into other business ?
Response : Just like how I grew into politics, I have been in agricultural business for long. My Dad is a farmer and I have my farm too.

Que : what are your challenges in politics?
Response : In Nigeria, people will always be expecting money from you once you come out to contest for a post because they believe you're going there to make money. So the challenge is finance but God is in control.

Que : What do you think about present state of oyo state? Is the present government trying its best?
Response : the state is in danger if it continues to this way, this kind of situation where it doesn't seems like we are in a democratic government. The so called leaders do things in there own way and never seek public opinions, I can only say the leaders in our state are only trying to be good to themself and not to the people of the state. Their best is not good enough. He should just finish his tenure and leave. The people can't wait to bid him farewell.

Que : Their was a report that oyo state governor select many traditional rulers in Ibadan without the consent of the Olubadan. How true is this? And what do you think about it?
Response : Sorry, I don't want to talk about it.

Que : as a young man, what is your opinion about young people taking in politics?
Response: it is a great development, It will make hardworking, respectful and intelligent youths participate.

Que : how old are you?
Response : smiles. I'm in my 20s.

Que: in your previous rally n in all your posters, oyo state governorship aspirant Seyi Makinde always appear in all... Why are you promoting him?
Response : Smile. He is my leader so I have to promote him and I'm very happy with him, I am also contented to be associated with someone running for office with dignity and trying to be the CHANGE we desire in our polity and country.

Que : Why do you have so much trust and boldness in Seyi Makinde?
Response: Like I said, he has dignity and trying to be the change we desire. He is willing to build a better society which we will support him to do.

Que : Do you think PDP will choose Seyi Makinde as their candidate?
Response : I think Engr. Seyi Makinde is the best product any party can present now. He should be chosen.

Que : on a lighter mood, it seems you're not married, are you single?
Response : smiles. I am not married but I won't want to talk about my relationship status, maybe I'm single, maybe I'm not.

Que : How do you intend to control pressure from peer groups as a young man?
Response : there is no pressure and there can't be

Que : who are your mentor in politics?
Response : Engr. Oluseyi Makinde is my mentor

Que : why did you choose him as your mentor?
Response : I see him as welfarist with great political ideology, devoid of violence and unprogressive sentiments.

Que: how do you see Nigerian politics from your own angle?
Response : Nigeria is presently in the hands of deceivers and thieves acting as SAINT.

Que : Did your parents support your political ambition?

Response : I have wonderful parents that support me in whatever I do and correct me whenever I make mistake.

I could not finish reading. I believe he died of poison after eating Ewedu and Amala combine with Akpu and ofonigbo soup. Too much intake of 7 bottles of cold beer with isiewu. Also later in the evening he took Tiwo and also included kilishi which is disastrous.I need a new supplier..

with the way he's answering questions,his IQ is somehow low. And he sounds like someone that would be very easy to manipulate by Godfathers and ogas at the top. Saying Makinde is your role model alone means you will be loyal to him for life. the guy doesn't sound like he has anything to offer Oyo,he sounds like someone that would get there and loot to pay all the debts on his farmer father's neck and the well wishers he was referring to. I expected a more sound minded youth,this guy is just not mentally sound enough for politics,this is not SUG politics o,politics requires brilliance if you really want to serve your people no matter your age. And you don't criticize anybody directly,you do it collectively because that's how Buhari started too and got there throwing blame games at Jonathan,you should rather get there,do everything you can for your people,be transparent and be far more mature than your age. sorry to say o but that's my opinion.

Well spoken . I was surprised to hear his mentor. I would have expected him to mention names that changed things for the better and yes saying Mr Makinde alone. E get as e be.
