In a significant move aimed at fostering grassroots development and economic empowerment, Barrister Pelumi Olajengbesi, Convener of the Imole Grassroots Network, has empowered constituents of Oriade/Obokun Federal Constituency with the sum of ₦20 million.
The initiative, which specifically targeted women in Esa Oke, Ward 7 of Obokun Local Government Area, is designed to boost local businesses and promote economic independence among women in the community. The financial support serves as a testament to Barr Olajengbesi’s commitment to sustainable empowerment and community development.
Speaking during the empowerment event, Barr Olajengbesi expressed deep appreciation to the women of Esa Oke for their unwavering support for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). He commended their resilience and loyalty, noting that their continued support is vital to the growth and stability of the party at the grassroots level.
He further assured the beneficiaries of the commitment of the PDP-led administration under the leadership of Governor Ademola Adeleke to delivering good governance and sustainable development across Osun State. Barr Olajengbesi also used the opportunity to rally support for Governor Adeleke’s re-election bid in 2026, promising that even greater dividends of democracy await the people.
“The empowerment of our women is not just an act of charity but a strategic investment in the socio-economic stability of our communities,” he said.
The event was well-attended by party members, community leaders, and beneficiaries who lauded the initiative and pledged their continued support for the PDP and its leadership.
