The Leader of Councillors in Ona Ara Local Government, Hon. Oluwafemi Abolade Gabriel, popularly known as Yerima, has described the massive turnout recorded at the PDP/APM Unity Mega Rally held at the historic Mapo Hall, Ibadan, as a strong political statement that the people of Oyo State and Nigerians at large are fully prepared for the continuation of transformational leadership under Governor Engr. Seyi Makinde.
Hon. Yerima, a fast-rising grassroots political figure and one of the most influential young voices within Ona Ara Local Government politics, made this declaration shortly after participating in the mega rally alongside party loyalists, youths, community stakeholders, women groups, and political associates from across Ona Ara.
According to him, the rally was more than an ordinary political gathering, stressing that the unprecedented crowd witnessed at Mapo Hall reflected the growing confidence Nigerians have in Governor Seyi Makinde’s leadership style, developmental achievements, and people-oriented governance approach under the Omituntun agenda.
The vibrant councillors’ leader noted that the PDP/APM alliance has continued to gain momentum because of its commitment to progressive governance, inclusiveness, infrastructural development, youth empowerment, and economic growth across Oyo State.
Speaking passionately on the significance of the rally, Hon. Yerima stated that the overwhelming support shown by residents, party faithful, market men and women, artisans, and youths further confirms that Governor Makinde’s leadership has gone beyond Oyo State and is now being seen as a model for national transformation ahead of the 2027 general elections.
“The Unity Mega Rally at Mapo Hall was not just a political event; it was a movement powered by the people. The massive crowd and the level of excitement across Ibadan clearly showed that Nigerians are identifying with the developmental strides and visionary leadership of Governor Seyi Makinde. His achievements in infrastructure, education, healthcare, road construction, security, workers’ welfare, and youth empowerment have continued to inspire hope among the people,” Yerima stated.
He further emphasized that young political leaders and grassroots mobilizers across Ona Ara Local Government remain committed to supporting leaders with proven capacity, integrity, and visible performance records capable of delivering sustainable development to the people.
Political observers within Ona Ara have also continued to identify Hon. Oluwafemi Abolade Gabriel (Yerima) as one of the emerging political forces to watch ahead of the next electoral cycle, especially considering his growing popularity among youths, community leaders, and party stakeholders within the local government.
Many residents believe his consistency in grassroots mobilization, community engagement, political loyalty, and youth advocacy has positioned him as a strong and credible figure for higher legislative responsibilities, particularly the Ona Ara State Constituency seat in the near future.
Hon. Yerima, while appreciating party leaders and organizers of the rally, also commended Governor Seyi Makinde for sustaining purposeful governance and maintaining strong political stability within Oyo State despite the numerous economic and national challenges confronting the country.
He equally applauded members of the PDP/APM alliance, security agencies, media practitioners, women groups, transport unions, market associations, and the thousands of supporters whose presence contributed to the huge success of the rally.
The Ona Ara councillors’ leader therefore called on youths and residents across the state to remain actively involved in progressive politics and continue supporting visionary leadership capable of delivering sustainable growth, economic prosperity, and inclusive governance for all Nigerians.
