Hon. Oluwafemi Abolade Gabriel (Yerima) Sends a Message of Hope on International Day of Peace

Every year on September 21, the world pauses to celebrate the International Day of Peace, a day dedicated to promoting harmony, unity, and the absence of war and violence across communities and nations. Established by the United Nations in 1981, this global observance serves as a reminder that peace is not just the absence of conflict but the presence of justice, equity, and collective progress.

This year, as conversations around peace resonate globally, Hon. Oluwafemi Abolade Gabriel (Yerima) — a visionary leader and upcoming candidate for State Representative, Ona Ara Local Government — has extended heartfelt greetings to Nigerians and, most importantly, to the people of Ona Ara.

In his goodwill message, Hon. Yerima emphasized that peace must begin at the grassroots level before it can flourish at the national and global stage. He noted that Ona Ara, with its rich cultural heritage and vibrant people, can serve as a model for peaceful coexistence, community development, and youth empowerment.

> “Peace is the foundation of development,” Yerima stated. “Without peace in our communities, our aspirations for progress, good governance, and a brighter future will remain a dream. I stand committed to building a culture of peace in Ona Ara and beyond, where every citizen has a voice and every youth has an opportunity.”

Hon. Yerima’s message is particularly significant as Nigeria continues to face challenges ranging from economic hardship to insecurity. His focus on unity, inclusivity, and grassroots development positions him not only as a political figure but as a community advocate with a heart for service.

As an upcoming candidate for the Oyo State House of Assembly representing Ona Ara Local Government, Yerima has consistently aligned his vision with the ideals of peace, progress, and people-centered leadership. His engagements with youths, women, and traditional stakeholders within the constituency highlight his belief that sustainable peace can only be achieved when everyone is carried along in governance.

The International Day of Peace reminds us that each individual has a role to play. For Yerima, that role involves ensuring that the people of Ona Ara enjoy not only the dividends of democracy but also the comfort of living in a secure, inclusive, and peaceful environment.

As the world lights candles of peace today, Hon. Oluwafemi Abolade Gabriel (Yerima) calls on all Nigerians to embrace dialogue over division, cooperation over conflict, and unity over discord.

🌍 Happy International Day of Peace! ✨
