Momentum Builds as Obokun/Oriade Stakeholders Rally Behind Hon. Wole Oke for Osun East Senate Seat

Osun State, Nigeria –

A powerful wave of grassroots support is sweeping across the Obokun and Oriade Federal Constituency, as a broad coalition of stakeholders—ranging from political figures and artisans to faith leaders, students, and youth organizations—prepare to throw their collective weight behind Hon. Wole Oke as the preferred candidate for the Osun East Senatorial seat.

This growing endorsement movement follows a stirring message from the current Senator, Francis Fadahunsi, who has served with distinction and is preparing to bow out after completing his second term. At 80, Senator Fadahunsi has urged the youth to rise to the occasion and take up leadership roles, signaling a shift toward generational renewal.

Though Hon. Wole Oke has yet to officially declare his ambition, the groundswell of support, particularly from a dynamic group of young professionals and mentees in their 30s and 40s, speaks volumes. Many credit Oke’s mentorship and community development efforts as a transformative force in their lives—and now they’re eager to see him bring that same energy to the Senate.

The planned gathering of key constituency stakeholders aims to formally endorse Oke’s candidacy, underscoring their shared belief in his vision and capacity to deliver inclusive, people-driven representation. Known for his passion for development and youth empowerment, Hon. Wole Oke is widely respected for bridging generational divides and inspiring the next wave of leaders.

Currently in the second year of his present tenure, Oke has remained tight-lipped about his senatorial ambitions. Yet, the spontaneous groundswell of support suggests a constituency ready for forward-thinking leadership, rooted in experience, accountability, and genuine grassroots connection.

The endorsement signals not just a political shift, but a deep-seated commitment to nurturing leadership that truly reflects the hopes and diversity of Osun East.
