In the spirit of the Yuletide and in line with his people-centred philosophy, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Odo-Otin Local Government and a 2027 House of Representatives Hopeful for Ifelodun, Boripe and Odo-Otin Federal Constituency, Hon. Eniade Damilare Francis has distributed cash grants and food items to no fewer than 6,000 households across the IBO Federal Constituency, covering the 38 APC wards in Ifelodun, Boripe and Odo-Otin Local Government Areas and other critical stakeholders of the society ranging from traders, artisans, NURTW members, Motorcycle Riders and the vulnerable, as well as leaders of the All Progressives Congress across the three local governments of the federal constituency.
The large-scale outreach, which targeted market women, Motorcycle riders popularly known as Okada, members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), artisans and vulnerable families, was described by party leaders and beneficiaries as one of the most impactful grassroots interventions in the constituency in recent times.
Speaking during the distribution, Hon. Eniade said the initiative was driven by compassion and a firm belief that leadership must translate to tangible support for the people, especially during challenging economic times.
“This Yuletide intervention is about sharing hope, easing burdens and reminding our people that they are not alone. Leadership must be felt at the grassroots, not just heard in speeches. What we are doing today is a reflection of our commitment to inclusive governance and people-oriented service,” Eniade stated.
He added that the support was also meant to strengthen party unity and deepen the bond between the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the grassroots.
“Across the 38 wards in Ifelodun, Boripe and Odo-Otin, our party remains one family. This gesture is to appreciate our loyal supporters and ensure that every family has a reason to smile this yuletide season,” he said.
APC leaders from across the constituency lauded the initiative, describing it as timely and exemplary. One of the party leaders noted that Eniade’s action reflects the core values of the APC.
Alhaji Shuaib Oyedokun, an elderstateman and chieftain of the APC in Osun noted, “This is leadership with a human face. Hon. Eniade has once again demonstrated that the APC is a party that truly cares for the masses. This intervention will go a long way in strengthening our structures across the wards,” an APC chieftain said.
Hon. Dele Adepoju, the Executive Chairman, Odo-Otin Local Government praised the inclusiveness of the exercise:
“From market women to Okada riders and NURTW members, nobody was left out. This is the kind of grassroots engagement that builds trust and sustains party loyalty,” he added.
Beneficiaries could not hide their excitement as they expressed gratitude for the support.
The Iyaloja General of Boripe LG leading other Iyalojas from the federal constituency said the assistance would help her family celebrate the season with dignity.
“This support came at the right time. With this food and cash, our children will enjoy this Christmas. May God bless Hon. Eniade,” she said.
Motorcycle riders from Odo-Otin also expressed appreciation:
“We feel remembered. Many politicians forget us after elections, but that is not the case with Hon. Eniade, he has always extended support to us at every given opportunity, today is another example of his regular display of goodwill that we enjoy in this Federal Constituency. This means a lot to us,” he remarked.
Similarly, a representative of the NURTW in the Federal Constituency described the gesture as morale-boosting for transport workers.
“Our members are grateful. This intervention shows that Hon. Eniade understands the struggles of the grassroots and stands with us,” he said.
"We are in complete support of the APC for the 2026 governorship elections and 2027 National and State Assembly elections", the NURTW representative concluded.
The Yuletide outreach further cements Hon. Eniade’s reputation as a grassroots mobiliser and a leader committed to social welfare, party unity and sustainable community development across the IBO Federal Constituency.
