Political momentum is already building in Ona Ara Local Government, and one name is clearly rising above the noise and the quiet maneuverings within party circles — Hon. Oluwafemi Abolade, popularly known as Yerima. As consultations intensify ahead of the next electoral cycle, the reality within the (PDP) structure in Ona Ara is becoming difficult to ignore: Yerima has emerged as the aspirant many believe is destined to clinch the party’s ticket for the State House of Assembly.
Across the wards and political blocs within the party, conversations are becoming increasingly direct and confident. Stakeholders are consulting, alliances are being strengthened, and strategic meetings are ongoing. But within these discussions, one point keeps resurfacing repeatedly — Yerima is the candidate with the strongest grassroots connection and the widest acceptance within the party structure.
Within PDP circles, he is widely described as a “star boy” of the party in Ona Ara, a label that reflects both his growing influence and the enthusiasm of supporters who see him as the next political force to represent the constituency.
His popularity is not limited to party meetings alone. Walk through the streets of Ona Ara, visit the markets, community gatherings, youth hangouts, and ward meetings, and a clear political sentiment becomes visible. Many residents openly express confidence in Oluwafemi Abolade, pointing to his accessibility, loyalty to the party, and visible connection with ordinary people.
Unlike politicians who appear only during election season, Yerima has built a reputation as someone who remains present among the people. Supporters often describe him as a grassroots politician who understands the needs and frustrations of the constituency, and that perception has helped him cultivate a strong base across several communities within Ona Ara.
This growing support has created a political atmosphere where many observers believe the contest for the PDP ticket is gradually tilting in his favor. Party insiders say the consultations currently ongoing are not merely about identifying a candidate, but about consolidating support around someone who already enjoys significant popularity.
For many PDP members in the constituency, the expectation is clear: Yerima is not just another aspirant; he represents a movement within the party.
His supporters argue that Ona Ara deserves representation that is bold, visible, and deeply connected to the people. In their view, Yerima embodies that possibility — a new generation of leadership determined to give the constituency a stronger voice at the state level.
As the political season approaches and party structures begin to move closer to decisive decisions, the message from his supporters continues to echo across Ona Ara.
Yerima is coming.
The consultations are ongoing, the political momentum is growing, and the confidence of his supporters is unmistakable.
Whether his opponents like it or not, one statement is already dominating political conversations across the constituency:
Hon. Oluwafemi Abolade, aka Yerima, is ready — and he is coming to represent Ona Ara.
