Although Hon. Oluwafemi Abolade Gabriel — popularly known as Yerima — is currently serving as a councillor and Leader of the Legislative House in Ona Ara Local Government, growing signs across the political landscape suggest that the young leader is poised to take a major step toward representing his people at the Oyo State House of Assembly in the coming 2027 elections.
In recent weeks, visibility materials, campaign-themed graphics, and goodwill messages have flooded social media platforms, WhatsApp groups, and youth forums within Ona Ara, signaling the readiness of Yerima’s loyal supporters and the increasing calls for him to contest.
Grassroots Appeal and Proven Leadership
Hon. Yerima’s rise in Ona Ara politics has been built on a foundation of consistency, loyalty, and people-focused leadership. A two-term councillor and the incumbent Leader of the House, he has earned widespread respect as a unifying figure and a dedicated servant of the people.
He is known for his close working relationship with Governor Seyi Makinde and for his unwavering loyalty to his mentor, Otunba Seye Famojuro, both of whom embody the progressive ideals that guide his service.
From overseeing local government projects to advancing policies that directly impact residents, Yerima has consistently ensured that the people of Ona Ara are heard and represented. His steady rise has made him one of the most visible and trusted young leaders within the PDP structure in Oyo State.
Empowerment and Community Impact
True to his “people-first” principle, Hon. Yerima has made community empowerment a personal mission. In a recent outreach to women in his ward, he surprised attendees with a generous financial gesture, an act that drew heartfelt prayers, gratitude, and renewed commitment from the beneficiaries.
> “As long as God blesses me, I will continue to bless my people,” he said at the event. “Our women are the backbone of this party, and they deserve recognition, support, and empowerment.”
He also emphasized unity within the PDP, cautioning against divisive tendencies and urging steadfastness as the party prepares for the coming political season.
> “Let’s stay with the PDP — the party of the people. We will keep getting stronger if we remain united,” Yerima added.
A Signal Toward 2027
While he has yet to make a formal declaration — out of respect for his current position as councillor — all indications point toward an inevitable next chapter for Hon. Oluwafemi Abolade Gabriel Yerima. With the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) expected to fix the next general elections for November 2026, consultations, strategic engagements, and support mobilization are already intensifying across Ona Ara.
Yerima’s record of service, accessibility, and developmental impact continues to inspire optimism among youths, elders, and party faithfuls who see him as the right candidate to give Ona Ara a stronger voice in the Oyo State House of Assembly.
As the 2027 elections draw nearer, the movement around Yerima’s political journey is gathering unmistakable momentum — a signal that the Ona Ara constituency may soon witness a historic transition from council leadership to legislative representation.
