By The The The People’s Voice Nigeria News
The call for credible, experienced, compassionate and result-oriented leadership in Ondo South Senatorial District has continued to gather momentum as political stakeholders and community leaders rally support for Princess Oladunni Odu ahead of the forthcoming APC primary election.
Among those championing her cause is the UK Aseyori Coordinator, Olusegun Obolo, who passionately appealed to all Ikale sons and daughters, both at home and in the diaspora, to unite behind Princess Odu as the most qualified candidate to replace Ambassador Ibrahim Jimoh in the Senate.
According to Obolo, Princess Oladunni Odu represents competence, courage, intelligence and grassroots connection — qualities he said are urgently needed at this crucial time in the political history of Ondo South. He described her as arguably the greatest female politician in the history of Ondo State and unquestionably the number one female political figure in Ikale Nation.
Obolo emphasized that among all those aspiring for the Senate seat, Princess Odu possesses the best political profile, administrative experience and leadership pedigree. He noted that her years of service to humanity, commitment to development and unwavering dedication to the people have distinguished her as a woman who truly understands the needs of the masses.
“Princess Oladunni Odu is not just another politician; she is a mother with a caring heart,” Obolo stated.
“She understands the struggles of the average Ikale person because she has consistently identified with the people over the years. Her compassion for widows, students, the physically challenged, artisans and small business owners is genuine and unmatched.”
He further noted that Princess Odu’s emergence would bring renewed hope and purposeful representation to the people of Ondo South Senatorial District. As a seasoned administrator and former Secretary to the Ondo State Government under the late former governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, she has demonstrated exceptional leadership capacity, integrity and political maturity needed to effectively represent the district at the National Assembly.
Obolo also compared her boldness and brilliance to that of Ambassador Ibrahim Jimoh, CFR, stating that Princess Odu possesses the confidence, intelligence and courage needed to protect the interests of Ondo South at the Senate.
“Princess Odu is bold, brilliant, confident and smart. She has what it takes to stand shoulder to shoulder with influential lawmakers in Abuja and fight for the rights and development of Ondo South. She carries herself with dignity and commands respect wherever she goes,” he added.
According to Obolo, education remains one of Princess Odu’s strongest passions. He revealed that if elected, she would prioritize educational support programmes for students across Ondo South through scholarships, bursaries, learning materials and youth development initiatives aimed at reducing poverty and unemployment among young people.
Beyond education, Obolo highlighted her plans to empower widows, support persons living with disabilities and provide financial assistance and opportunities for small-scale business owners across the district. He explained that Princess Odu believes economic empowerment is essential for sustainable community growth and family stability.
“She understands that many families are struggling economically. That is why she is determined to create empowerment programmes that will uplift market women, artisans, farmers, traders and entrepreneurs. She wants to put smiles on the faces of the people,” Obolo said.
He also assured the people that Princess Odu would embark on life-changing projects that would transform communities across Ondo South Senatorial District. From infrastructure development to youth empowerment, women inclusion, healthcare improvement and economic opportunities, her vision is centred on improving the quality of life for the average Ondo South citizen.
Obolo therefore urged APC delegates and party faithful to look beyond sentiments and support competence, credibility and capacity. He called on all Ikale indigenes at home and abroad to rise in unity and ensure that Princess Oladunni Odu emerges victorious at the APC primary election.
“The future of Ondo South is too important to gamble with. We need a leader with experience, compassion, intelligence and influence. Princess Oladunni Odu is the best person for the job. She has paid her dues politically and has remained committed to the progress of our people. This is the time for Ondo South to support a woman who truly cares,” he concluded.
As political activities continue to intensify ahead of the APC primary election, many observers believe that Princess Oladunni Odu’s growing popularity, political strength and outstanding track record have positioned her as a leading contender capable of sustaining quality representation for Ondo South Senatorial District.
For many across Ondo South, the message is becoming clearer — Princess Oladunni Odu is the woman the cap fits.
