In a major show of support ahead of Ogun State’s highly anticipated local government elections, HRH, the Lemo of Ode, bestowed blessings on Omooba Damilola Hamed Hassan, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) councilorship candidate for Ward 9, in a ceremony marked by unity, ambition, and a resounding call for change.

The event, held in Emuren, attracted party faithful, community leaders, and residents eager for progress, with Hon. Damilare Mohammed Bello, PDP’s representative, presenting the party flag to Hassan amidst applause.

As PDP leaders and locals gathered, the ceremony brimmed with hopes for a new era of infrastructural development, better representation, and a reversal of the economic challenges that have impacted Ogun State residents.

During the ceremony, Asiwaju Bola Oluwole passionately addressed the crowd, speaking about the hardships caused by the ruling APC and urging residents of Ode-Lemo to consider the power of their votes. “This election is our opportunity to say enough is enough. We have seen years of hardship under the APC, and it is time for a change. Let us vote for a party that will prioritize our well-being,” Oluwole declared.

If the people trust you with their vote, I urge you to fulfill this responsibility with dedication and vision.”
