As each day unfolds, the shadow of dwindling leadership roles, scarce social amenities, and faltering infrastructures loom larger over Irele’s local government and its surroundings. The narrative of false superiority has overshadowed genuine progress, hindering the local government’s growth and developmental psychology.
A Cry for Representation
Despite unwavering loyalty to Ondo state and Nigeria, Irele’s local government voice remains marginalized on the political stage. The absence of influential positions, save for a brief senatorial tenure and minor federal appointments, reflects a stark neglect of the local government’s potential.
A Call to Reclaim Identity
It is time for Irele local government to ascend to its rightful place as the next Governor of Ondo state. This pivotal moment offers a golden opportunity to restore Irele’s dignity and reclaim its worth, free from the shackles of self-doubt and sentimentality. Let us not bequeath a legacy of wasted potential to future generations.
Rallying for Change
Enough of the crumbs of token positions like Special Advisers and Commissioners. It is time to stand united and demand the recognition and respect that Irele deserves. Let us rise above self-abasement and chart a new course toward prosperity and prominence.
Now that Omo’ba Okunjimi Odimayo, a prince of Irele, hails from the distinguished lineage of the late Oba Feyisara Odimayo, a revered monarch whose legacy is intricately woven into the fabric of Irele’s history is one of the notable aspirants in the race, let us rally behind him to reposition our destiny in Ondo State political landscape.
Jimi’s journey reflects a profound commitment to service and a deep understanding of the needs of the people. His innate business acumen and unwavering political resilience position him as an exceptional candidate, uniquely equipped to lead Ondo State towards a future brimming with prosperity and opportunity.
As Jimi steps forward to chart a course for our collective future, let us rally behind him with unwavering support. Together, we can redefine our destiny within the political landscape of Ondo State, forging a path towards progress and prosperity under the leadership of the true son of Ode Irele, Omo’ba Okunjimi John Odimayo.
