In the heat of the 2023 general elections, Hon. Oluremi Oladokun Onireti stood as the flagbearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the Ogbomoso North, Ogbomoso South, and Oriire Federal Constituency. Despite a spirited campaign and a strong grassroots presence, he narrowly lost the election by a margin of about 5,000 votes to Hon. Olamijuwonlo, son of the late former Governor of Oyo State, Otunba Adebayo Alao-Akala.
Though he did not secure a seat in the National Assembly, Hon. Onireti’s impact on the communities he sought to represent remains undeniable. Over the years, he has consistently demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the development of Ogbomoso North, Ogbomoso South, and Oriire local government areas.
His numerous empowerment programmes have benefitted thousands across his constituency. From providing tools and resources for youths to supporting widows and the elderly and to providing basic amenities, Hon. Onireti has carved a reputation as a politician with a heart for the people. His initiatives have bridged the gaps in social welfare and created opportunities where government presence was lacking.
We share the bond of Oṣupa blood in Ogbomoso Northoval Government Area and it gives me joy to identify with him on this joyous occasion of his birth today.
Today, his followers across the world are celebrating his impactful life filled with passion and love to help the needy and the downtrodden. He is being celebrated not just because of the birth of a remarkable leader, but also because of the legacy of a man whose vision, compassion, and tireless service continue to uplift countless lives. As a dedicated politician and selfless philanthropist, he has shown what true leadership looks like. He is rooted in integrity, driven by purpose, and guided by a deep love for the people.
May this new year bring you continued strength, greater victories, and the fulfillment of every noble endeavour you pursue. The impact of your work echoes far and wide, and we are proud to stand with you as you shape a brighter future for all.
Wishing you joy, peace, and abundant blessings today and always.
