The message of unity, political support and continued development took centre stage in Igangan as Rt. Hon. Dhikrullahi Olajide Adedeji, popularly known as Odidi Omo, joined community members, political leaders and traditional rulers for the commissioning of the reconstructed Igangan Town Hall.
The ceremony, held on Friday, November 6, 2026, was organised by Hon. Dr. Anthony Adebayo Adepoju, Member representing Ibarapa Central and Ibarapa North Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives. The event brought together political stakeholders, members of different political parties, community representatives and royal fathers from across the area.
The Asingangan of Igangan Land, His Royal Majesty, Oba Abdul-Rafiu Adeniyi Ariwoola, Aako II, performed the official commissioning of the ultramodern town hall, marking the completion of a project intended to provide the community with an improved facility for meetings and other communal activities.
Speaking at the gathering, Odidi Omo congratulated the people of Ibarapa Central and Ibarapa North for having a representative like Dr. Adepoju. He noted that the lawmaker’s performance during his first term had demonstrated his capacity to attract development and opportunities to the constituency.
He urged the people to support Dr. Adepoju’s return to the House of Representatives in 2027, stressing that continuity in representation would give the constituency a stronger opportunity to attract more development. He also called on residents to support the Allied Peoples’ Movement (APM) and its candidates.
Odidi Omo’s message placed emphasis on the importance of recognising leaders who have demonstrated commitment to their communities and giving them the opportunity to build on the work already started.
The visit also provided an opportunity for Odidi Omo to meet and interact with residents, political stakeholders and traditional rulers from different parts of Ibarapa. The presence of people across political affiliations and traditional institutions gave the gathering a wider community character beyond the commissioning ceremony.
He also disclosed that he had facilitated the delivery of 1,000 units of streetlights for distribution across the three local government areas in Ibarapa Land, reaffirming his commitment to supporting development across the region.
The gathering was another stop in Odidi Omo’s three-day tour of communities across Oyo South, during which he continued to engage residents, traditional institutions and community stakeholders on issues affecting their areas.
For Odidi Omo, the engagement was an opportunity not only to celebrate a community development project but also to encourage unity, continuity and collective support for leaders working towards the progress of Ibarapa.
