The Onitabo of Itabo, His Royal Highness, Oba Kehinde Isiaka Bayonle Oyedokun Oyekanmi, Ibitoye II, has offered royal prayers for Hon. Adedeji Dhikrullahi Stanley Olajide, popularly known as Odidi Omo, during a visit to his palace in Itabo, Ibarapa East Local Government Area of Oyo State.
Odidi Omo, the APM Senatorial Candidate for Oyo South, was at the palace as part of his engagements with traditional rulers and communities across Ibarapaland. He was received by the monarch and had an audience with him, during which they discussed community development, public service and the aspirations of the people. The visit also provided an opportunity for him to meet the Iya Oloja and other community representatives.
During the conversation, Odidi Omo spoke about his personal approach to public service, emphasising the importance of keeping promises and following through on commitments.
“I love to keep my word,” he told the monarch, explaining that he considered it his responsibility to remain involved in the affairs of communities, understand their challenges and contribute to their development.
He also brought good tidings for the people of Itabo, informing the monarch that 330 solar streetlights had been delivered for communities across the area. The initiative is intended to improve night-time visibility, strengthen neighbourhood security and support safer, better-lit communities.
The conversation also turned to the political future of Oyo State. Odidi Omo spoke of his aspiration to see an indigene of the state emerge as President of Nigeria, telling the monarch: “We want a son of Oyo State to be President, and we have placed it before God and you, our King.” He sought the prayers of the traditional institution for the aspiration.
He further mentioned the political ambitions of Shehu KSA, who is seeking election to the Federal House of Representatives, and Rt. Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin, who is seeking another term in the Oyo State House of Assembly.
The Onitabo welcomed Odidi Omo’s visit, offered prayers for his Oyo South senatorial aspiration and assured him of his support. The monarch also encouraged him to sustain his interest in the development of Itabo and the wider community.
The palace engagement concluded with the monarch’s blessings, while the announcement of the 330 solar streetlights provided a tangible development update specifically for the people of Itabo.
