In a bold show of loyalty and progressive leadership, Hon. Oluwafemi Abolade Gabriel (Yerima), the Leader of Ona Ara Local Government Councillors and a fast-rising political figure widely tipped as a strong contender for the Oyo State House of Assembly, has commended the grassroots empowerment initiative of the Executive Governor of Oyo State, Engr. Seyi Makinde.
The commendation follows the Governor’s distribution of electric motorcycles to Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ward chairmen—an initiative designed to enhance operational efficiency, deepen grassroots mobilization, and reward the unwavering commitment of party stakeholders across the state.
The presentation ceremony reflects the Makinde administration’s continued dedication to strengthening the PDP’s grassroots structure while empowering those at the forefront of political coordination and community engagement.
Reacting to the development, Yerima described the initiative as “a clear demonstration of visionary leadership and genuine commitment to the people,” noting that such efforts are instrumental in building a formidable and people-driven political structure.
According to Yerima, “This is not just empowerment; it is strategic leadership in action. Governor Seyi Makinde has once again shown that true governance begins at the grassroots. By equipping our ward leaders with the tools they need to perform effectively, he is reinforcing the foundation of our party and ensuring sustainable political success.”
He further emphasized that providing mobility tools like electric motorcycles will significantly improve coordination, accessibility, and responsiveness among ward chairmen, ultimately strengthening the PDP’s presence across communities.
Yerima, whose political influence continues to expand within Ona Ara and across Oyo State, reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to promoting policies that prioritize people, unity, and sustainable development. He noted that such impactful initiatives not only boost morale among party leaders but also position the PDP for resounding victories in future elections.
“The strength of our party lies in our grassroots. When leaders at that level are empowered, motivated, and supported, success becomes inevitable. Governor Makinde has set a standard for inclusive governance, and this initiative is yet another testament to his dedication to the growth of our party and the welfare of the people,” he added.
Responding on behalf of the beneficiaries, representatives of the ward chairmen expressed heartfelt appreciation to Governor Makinde and the leadership of the party, describing the initiative as timely and transformative. They noted that the electric motorcycles would ease mobility challenges, enhance productivity, and improve their capacity to effectively manage party activities within their respective wards.
The event witnessed the presence of key party stakeholders, political appointees, loyal members, and supporters, further underscoring the unity and shared vision within the PDP across Oyo State.
For Yerima, this development reinforces a powerful narrative of responsive leadership, grassroots empowerment, and strategic political consolidation. As the state moves closer to another electoral cycle, his voice continues to stand out as that of a committed and forward-thinking leader dedicated to the progress of Ona Ara and the continued success of the PDP in Oyo State.
