The Accord Party candidate for Oriade/Obokun Federal Constituency, Pelumi Olajengbesi, has assured the people of Imesi-Ile and Otan-Ile of inclusive representation, promising to prioritise the development of communities across the constituency.

Olajengbesi gave the assurance during separate visits to the palaces of the traditional rulers of the two communities as part of his consultations with traditional institutions ahead of the 2027 general elections.

According to statements signed by Sodiq Lawal Chocomilo, spokesperson for the Pelumi Olajengbesi Campaign Organisation (POCO), the candidate presented his manifesto to the traditional councils, seeking royal blessings and promising representation that would benefit all communities in Oriade/Obokun.

Speaking during the visit to the palace of His Royal Majesty, Oba (Engr.) Enoch Ademola Akinyemi Oyoyo II, Olajengbesi said, “Imesi-Ile is a historic town with great men and women who have contributed immensely to the growth of Osun State. Our representation will be inclusive”.

“We will ensure that federal projects, youth empowerment, quality education for all, and rural infrastructure touch every corner of Oriade/Obokun. We will focus on projects and programmes that would bring communal impacts.”

At the palace of the Owa Afole of Otan-Ile, Oba Michael Tolulope Aderogba Adetona Adeyanju II, Olajengbesi said his manifesto, which focuses on sponsoring meaningful bills, youth empowerment, quality education, rural infrastructure and attracting federal projects, was developed after months of engagement with young people, women, artisans and community leaders across the constituency.

In their responses, the Obanla of Imesi-Ile, High Chief Olatunde Akinyemi-Aluko, described Olajengbesi as a courageous young man ready to reposition Ijesa North for prosperity, while the Yeye Risa-Birin of Imesi-Ile, Otegbeye J.I., offered prayers and urged him to remain faithful to his promises.

At Otan-Ile, the Obanla, High Chief Ayeni Isiaka, commended the candidate’s respect for tradition, describing him as a humble and brilliant lawyer passionate about developing people and communities. He offered prayers for the success of Olajengbesi’s ambition and urged him to remain steadfast, humble and faithful to his promises if elected.
