As part of his three-day tour across communities in Oyo South, Hon. Adedeji Dhikrullahi Stanley Olajide, popularly known as Odidiomo, paid a courtesy visit to the Onidere of Idereland at his palace in Idere, Ibarapa Central Local Government Area of Oyo State.
The visit followed the commencement of the tour in Ibarapa North and provided an opportunity for the APM Senatorial Candidate for Oyo South to engage with the traditional ruler and members of the Idereland community.
At the palace, which is currently undergoing construction, Odidiomo was warmly received by the monarch and members of his entourage. Sons and daughters of Idereland also used the occasion to share some of the challenges facing their community and discuss issues requiring attention.
The visit featured prayers and royal blessings for Odidiomo and his senatorial aspiration. The monarch and members of the community also acknowledged his efforts towards community development and encouraged him to remain committed to serving the people.
Odidiomo, who arrived with members of the APM political team, reiterated his commitment to keeping his word and doing what he could within his capacity to support the development of communities across Oyo South.
He also expressed his desire to maintain a closer connection with Ibarapa, revealing his intention to build a house in the area where he could stay whenever he visited. He further pledged to support the ongoing construction of the Onidere’s palace.
The visit was another opportunity for Odidiomo to listen directly to the people, understand their concerns and strengthen his relationship with traditional institutions and communities across the senatorial district.
For him, meaningful representation must go beyond political engagement. It requires staying connected to the people, listening to their needs and making efforts, within available capacity, to contribute to the progress of their communities.
