Youth Group in Osun East Throws Weight Behind Dennis Ojo, Adeleke
A youth-based civic group in Osun East has endorsed Dennis Ayoola Olubunmi Ojo for the Senate ahead of the 2027 general elections and called for the re-election of Governor Ademola Adeleke for a second term.
The endorsement was announced at a press conference in Osogbo, where the group’s spokesperson described the organisation as a non-partisan civic body focused on accountability, inclusive governance, and responsive leadership across the senatorial district.
According to the group, the decision to make its position public was aimed at guiding voters and strengthening civic participation as preparations for the 2027 elections gather momentum.
The group formally endorsed Dennis Ojo of the Accord Party from Ilesa East Local Government Area, describing him as a credible aspirant with a people-oriented agenda and a strong understanding of the development challenges facing Osun East. It stated that the district requires effective legislative representation, greater youth inclusion, grassroots development, and stronger advocacy at the National Assembly.
The group noted that the endorsement followed extensive consultations and assessments of the aspirant’s vision and commitment to people-centred governance, adding that the district needs fresh leadership capable of addressing the concerns of youths, artisans, traders, and professionals.
In addition, the group urged residents of Osun State to support Governor Ademola Adeleke’s bid for a second term, citing what it described as positive performance in infrastructure development, education, healthcare delivery, workers’ welfare, and youth empowerment.
It said the current administration has helped restore public confidence in governance and has prioritised policies that directly impact citizens’ welfare.
The group also encouraged eligible voters, particularly young people, to remain politically active and to participate fully in the democratic process. It stressed that the 2027 elections should be driven by competence and public interest rather than party loyalty.
The event concluded with a call for peaceful political engagement and sustained civic involvement as political activities gradually intensify ahead of the polls.
