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.

With Ward 9 encompassing the communities of Ode-Lemo, Emuren, and Igbololo, the Lemo’s endorsement underscored the significance of this election in transforming Sagamu Local Government. 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.

His words struck a chord with residents who have endured ongoing economic strains, a lack of basic infrastructure, and a diminished quality of life. Oluwole emphasized the need to support candidates committed to local development, particularly those aligned with the PDP’s vision of growth, equity, and progress.

Lemo of Ode’s Blessings and Call for Unity

In a powerful gesture, HRH, the Lemo of Ode, prayed for Hassan and the other PDP candidates, asking for divine support and victory at the polls. But his message extended beyond election success; the traditional ruler urged Honourable Dr. Oyenuga Adeshola Jamiu Jasper, the PDP’s chairmanship candidate, to foster unity across Ward 9 communities if elected.

“Unity is the foundation of any community’s progress,” the Lemo stated, addressing Dr. Jasper directly. “We need leadership that will bring Ode-Lemo and Emuren together and provide the infrastructure we have long awaited. If the people trust you with their vote, I urge you to fulfill this responsibility with dedication and vision.”

The Lemo’s words reflected the sentiments of a community yearning for a local government that prioritizes their needs. His call for unity was echoed by several community leaders, emphasizing that the strength of the local government depends on a harmonious approach to development.
