In Yoruba political tradition, leadership is measured not by loud promises but by visible results, sustained public trust, and consistent service to the people. In Oyo State today, one name stands out as a symbol of tested leadership, political strength, and people-oriented representation: Honourable Adedeji Dikhrullahi Stanley Olajide (Odidi Omo).
Beyond Ibadan, Odidi Omo enjoys strong socio-political ties with the Oke-Ogun zone, being an in-law of the region. His wife, Alhaja Adenike Shakirat Olajide, the daughter of Late Sir (Chief) Festus Olapade Adelabu, the Asiwaju of Iseyin, Oke-Ogun. This connection further strengthens his acceptability across key zones of Oyo State.
A core practicing Muslim, Hon. Adedeji Dikhrullahi Stanley Olajide is currently serving his second term as a Member of the House of Representatives, representing Ibadan Southwest/Northwest Federal Constituency. His political relevance is firmly rooted in performance, not rhetoric. Under his representation, the constituency has remained one of the strongest voting blocs in Oyo State, recording massive voter turnout and overwhelming support during his re-election, an endorsement driven purely by the confidence of the people in his leadership.
Odidi Omo’s re-election was not accidental. It was the direct result of his people-centred representation, accessibility, and consistent engagement with grassroots stakeholders. He has distinguished himself as a legislator who understands the real needs of his constituents and effectively translates their aspirations into impactful representation at the national level.
As Governor Seyi Makinde’s Omituntun administration continues to redefine governance through competence, accountability, and inclusive development, the question of continuity becomes increasingly important. Oyo State requires a successor who understands this vision, commands political structure, and enjoys widespread public trust. Odidi Omo fits this profile seamlessly.
A seasoned mobiliser with deep grassroots penetration, Odidi Omo possesses the political capacity to unite party stakeholders across wards, local governments, and senatorial districts. His unwavering loyalty to the Oyo State PDP under the leadership of Governor Seyi Makinde, his calm and strategic leadership style, and his proven ability to win elections position him as a stabilising force capable of sustaining and expanding the gains of the Omituntun agenda.
Governor Seyi Makinde’s legacy deserves continuity anchored on competence, credibility, and popular acceptance. In this regard, Honourable Adedeji Dikhrullahi Stanley Olajide (Odidi Omo) stands out as a political heavyweight prepared, trusted, and widely accepted worthy of the Governor’s endorsement as a successor.
Hon. Alimi Abiola Ibrahim (Efficy),
State PRO,
Odidi Oyo.
