In a deliberate demonstration of respect for experience, tradition, and the enduring value of elder statesmanship, the Osun State Campaign Council today paid a courtesy visit to foremost elder statesman, Alhaji Shuaibu Oyedokun, at his Inisa residence.

Baba Oyedokun represents a rich legacy of progressive leadership and unwavering commitment to our shared ideals. His counsel remains invaluable to the success of this mission,” Hon. Oluwole Oke stated.

He further explained that the visit was to formally seek Baba Oyedokun’s blessings and strategic direction on the critical assignment entrusted to the Council by the leadership of the party, stressing that such moral and spiritual support is indispensable as efforts intensify to reclaim Osun State for the progressives.

Rt. Hon. Timothy Owoeye, immediate past Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, also joined the Council during the visit to show the inclusive nature of the Council.

Rt. Hon. Adejare Bello ,thanked Baba for his guidance and prayers at this critical juncture. He prayed for Baba and expressed that he covets the grace upon Baba as Elder of note for all the members.
