Grassroots Momentum Surges: OBA’s Ondo 2024 Bid Gains Traction with Market Sellers and Musicians
In a significant boost to his gubernatorial campaign, Otunba Bamidele Akingboye (OBA), the Social Democratic Party (SDP) candidate for Ondo 2024, has secured crucial support from two key community groups in Ondo Town. The charismatic contender’s message of change and progress is resonating strongly with local market sellers and performing artists, signaling a growing grassroots movement behind his bid for the state’s top office.
During a recent visit to Ondo Town, OBA engaged with market sellers who displayed an enthusiastic willingness to champion his cause. The vendors, representing a vital economic force in the community, expressed their readiness to actively contribute to the realization of OBA’s political aspirations. This endorsement from the heart of Ondo’s commercial sector underscores the candidate’s appeal to everyday citizens and small business owners.
In a parallel development, the Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria (PMAN) in Ondo Town has thrown its full weight behind OBA’s candidacy. The artists’ collective voiced their appreciation for OBA’s long-standing philanthropic efforts and his recognition of their cultural contributions. PMAN’s leadership declared their unwavering commitment to advocating for OBA’s campaign, vowing to leverage their artistic influence to rally support for his election.
Speaking on behalf of OBA, Hon. Jimmy Akinyan, the state secretary of the SDP, conveyed the candidate’s gratitude for the outpouring of support. Akinyan emphasized OBA’s vision for a more prosperous Ondo State, where the interests of market sellers, artists, and all citizens are prioritized.
This dual endorsement from market sellers and musicians not only diversifies OBA’s support base but also highlights his ability to connect with various sectors of society. As the Ondo 2024 gubernatorial race heats up, OBA’s campaign appears to be gaining momentum, powered by a groundswell of popular support from the grassroots level.
The convergence of commerce and culture behind OBA’s candidacy paints a picture of a unifying figure capable of bridging diverse interests in Ondo State. With market stalls and music halls alike buzzing with talk of change, OBA’s path to the governor’s mansion seems increasingly paved with the hopes and aspirations of Ondo’s citizens.
