  • A Throwback to Loyalty: Hon. Princess Olawumi Fayemi-Obayelu’s Unwavering Support for Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa Speak volumes

    by

    During the intense build-up to the gubernatorial election, Hon. Fayemi-Obayelu stood firmly on the frontline, mobilizing support across communities, engaging stakeholders, and strengthening grassroots structures. Her efforts were not symbolic, they were practical, visible, and impactful. She aligned herself clearly with the progressive vision which Governor Aiyedatiwa represents and worked tirelessly to translate that vision into electoral victory.

    As a respected political figure with deep roots in her constituency, Hon. Fayemi-Obayelu deployed her influence effectively. From mobilizing youth and women groups to coordinating ward-level campaign efforts, her contributions were instrumental in consolidating support for the governor.

    Her visible enthusiasm inspired many, reinforcing the strength of the campaign structure at the grassroots level. The throwback photographs are symbolics of that energy a leader not sitting on the fence but standing in active advocacy.

    In democratic systems, loyalty and performance deserve acknowledgment. Hon. Fayemi-Obayelu’s commitment to the political success of Governor Aiyedatiwa reflects both party loyalty and personal sacrifice.

    It is therefore reasonable that such dedication be recognized appropriately whether through a return to the State House of Assembly, where her legislative experience can once again serve the people, or through appointment into a higher strategic position where her political strength and grassroots reach can be maximally utilized.

    Rewarding loyalty is not merely about compensation; it is about reinforcing a culture of commitment, stability, and principled politics.

    As Ondo State continues its developmental journey under Governor Aiyedatiwa’s leadership, unity among committed stakeholders remains essential. Leaders like Hon. Princess Olawumi Fayemi-Obayelu represent the backbone of such unity, and an individual who invest political capital for collective progress.

    The throwback photograph is therefore not just a memory; it is a reminder that enduring loyalty and visible contribution should never go unnoticed.

    by

    Over 50 young beneficiaries have graduated from a one-month free renewable energy training programme organised in collaboration with the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board in Akure, Ondo State.

    Speaking during the presentation of certificates and start-up kits, the Member representing Ilaje Constituency II in the Ondo State House of Assembly, Princess Olawumi Fayemi‑Obayelu, said the initiative was part of efforts to promote human capital development and empower youths with practical skills in renewable energy.

    According to her, the programme emerged from a working relationship between her office and the South-West Zonal Office of NCDMB, aimed at providing sustainable livelihood opportunities for constituents.

    Fayemi-Obayelu explained that the beneficiaries were carefully selected from across Ondo State, with particular attention to the Niger Delta axis of the state, especially Ilaje Constituency II, noting that most participants had prior interest or background in electrical engineering.

    She assured that her office would continue to pursue more collaborative projects that focus on entrepreneurship development, innovation, and skills acquisition to foster self-reliance among constituents.

    “We will be unveiling more programmes like this in the coming months in partnership with NCDMB and other state and federal government agencies, boards and intervention bodies,” she said.

    The lawmaker added that empowering youths with renewable energy skills would not only tackle unemployment but also support sustainable energy solutions within local communities.

  • Ilaje Constituency II MHA Denies Recall Move, Describes Viral Report as False

    PRESS STATEMENT

    Re: False Recall Story Against Hon. Olawumi Fayemi-Obayelu

    The attention of the Office of Hon. Dr. Princess Olawumi Fayemi‑Obayelu, Member representing Ilaje Constituency II in the Ondo State House of Assembly, has been drawn to a misleading and politically-motivated story circulating on social media claiming that constituents have begun moves to recall her.

    We wish to state clearly that this report is false, baseless, and the handiwork of desperate political elements seeking to misinform the public and distract from the ongoing developmental efforts in Ilaje Constituency II.

    There is no official recall process initiated anywhere, and no credible group of constituents has submitted any petition in accordance with constitutional provisions. The so-called viral statement credited to an individual identified as “Awayin Asonja” does not represent the views of the good people of Ilaje Constituency II.

    Hon. Dr. Fayemi-Obayelu remains deeply connected to her constituency and has continued to deliver on her mandate through: Regular constituency engagements with community leaders and youth groups, Legislative contributions and motions in the House, Facilitation of empowerment programmes and social interventions, Advocacy for infrastructural and developmental projects across riverine communities.

    The lawmaker remains committed to transparency, accountability, and responsive representation. We urge the public to disregard fake news and politically-sponsored propaganda intended to create confusion.

    Hon. Fayemi-Obayelu appreciates the continued support and trust of the good people of Ilaje Constituency II and assures them of her unwavering dedication to their welfare and development.

    Signed:
    Media Office
    Hon. Dr. Princess Olawumi Fayemi-Obayelu.

    There was tension in Agamo community, Akure North Local Government Area of Ondo State, following the gruesome killing of the Alagamo of Agamo, Oba Kehinde Falodun, by suspected gunmen.

    The attackers, said to be more than ten in number, reportedly stormed the monarch’s palace on Wednesday evening in what was believed to be a planned abduction.

    However, sources disclosed that the traditional ruler resisted the attempted kidnapping.

    A family source revealed that the assailants initially opened fire on the monarch. Surprisingly, the bullets were said not to have penetrated his body.

    Unable to succeed with the gunshots, the attackers allegedly resorted to another weapon, striking the monarch on the head. The severe blow reportedly led to his death.

    The monarch’s wife, who confirmed the tragic incident, stated that the attackers were speaking Hausa and reportedly approached the community through the Itaogbolu axis.

    The incident has thrown the community into mourning, with residents expressing fear and outrage over the worsening security situation in the area.

  • From Corps Member to GM: Ogunleye’s Historic Rise at OSDPC

    by

    There was widespread jubilation as the Governor of Ondo State, Hon. Lucky Aiyedatiwa, confirmed the appointment of Mrs Nene Ogunleye as the substantive General Manager of the Ondo State Development and Property Corporation (OSDPC).

    Mrs Ogunleye’s confirmation, after serving for seven months in an acting capacity, makes her the first female General Manager of the corporation.

    Ogunleye began her career at the corporation as a corps member in 1999. She was named Best Corps Member during the administration of the late Ondo State Governor, Chief Adebayo Adefarati, an achievement that earned her automatic employment.

    Speaking with Newsmen, in Akure the state capital, Mrs. Ogunleye said she would pursue an inclusive style of administration.

    “I have always been a team player, right from my days as Director of Finance and Administration. As General Manager, I will strive to achieve even more by bringing out the best in staff and carrying everyone along in the administration of the corporation,” she said.

    She expressed gratitude to Governor Aiyedatiwa for considering her worthy of the appointment as the substantive accounting officer of the corporation.

    “I also appreciate the number one civil servant in the state, Mr. Bayo Philip, for his role in my appointment. I promise to be even more diligent in the discharge of my duties,” she added.

    Ogunleye noted that she rose through the ranks from corps member to General Manager.

    “Without sounding immodest, I have served Ondo State wholeheartedly and was honoured as the best corps member, which earned me automatic employment,” she said.

    She thanked both junior and senior management staff for their support, noting the excitement surrounding her elevation from Director of Finance and Administration to General Manager.

    “I urge all staff to demonstrate greater commitment and diligence in their respective departments for the development of the corporation,” she added.

    Speaking on behalf of the staff, the Head of Planning, Research and Statistics, Mr Seun Komolafe, described her confirmation as historic, being the first female appointment to the position.

    He said her appointment was a case of a round peg in a round hole.

    “I thank the Ondo State Government and the Head of Service, Mr Bayo Philip, for appointing an experienced administrator as the substantive General Manager of the corporation.
    “We are delighted to see her rise to this position.

    She understands the intricacies of the corporation’s operations, and we are optimistic that she will exceed expectations.

    “We monitored her performance during her tenure as Acting General Manager, and she carried everyone along in the administration of the corporation.

    Her experience will, in no small measure, help take the corporation to the next level,” he said.
