During the gathering, Ogundoyin officially unveiled the *8th Oyo Assembly Forum*—a non-partisan platform designed to foster camaraderie, promote the welfare of former legislators, and institutionalize a culture of enduring public service beyond party lines.
Reflecting on his personal growth, Ogundoyin highlighted the importance of the 8th Assembly to his political career. “That was where I found my footing,” he noted. “Today, I stand as Speaker of the 10th Assembly, and this initiative is deeply personal to me.”
The evening also served as a moment of tribute. The forum paid heartfelt homage to fallen colleagues, including *Rt. Hon. Michael Adeyemo* (former Speaker from Ibarapa East), *Hon. Kehinde Subair* (ex-Majority Leader), *Hon. Gideon* (Oorelope), and *Hon. Jimoh* (Ibarapa North and Central). Their contributions were described as “invaluable” and their memories “eternally cherished.”
Ogundoyin extended appreciation to *Rt. Hon. Gunju Ojo*, Chairman of the forum, and all former lawmakers who graced the occasion.
“This forum will serve as a structured bridge between past and present Assemblies, creating a unified voice for former lawmakers and laying a foundation that future generations can build upon,” he concluded.
