In a resounding show of appreciation, a prominent socio-cultural group in Kwara State, Omo Ibile Igbomina, has hailed the legislator representing the state’s Central Senatorial District, Senator Saliu Mustapha, whom they described as their ally.

The group reaffirmed its commitment to working with the legislator to drive development in Kwara State.

The commendation came on the heels of the bus the senator recently donated to the group to support its activities, an act seen by many as a testimony to his dedication to community development and cultural preservation.

Speaking on behalf of the group, its National President, Elder Gabriel Jimoh, in a statement by the group’s Public Relations Officer, Chief Hammed Aiyedun, described the donation as the fulfillment of a promise made by the senator at the last Igbomina Day celebration, where he was the chief launcher.

The National President commended Mustapha for “his unwavering commitment to empowering communities through human capital development, infrastructure improvement, and support for women and youth initiatives.”

“His dedication to the welfare of his constituents is commendable. This donation is yet another demonstration of his commitment to initiatives that uplift our people,” Elder Jimoh said.

According to him, the newly acquired bus will greatly enhance the organization’s outreach efforts, facilitating better engagement with communities and strengthening initiatives aimed at preserving Igbomina’s rich cultural heritage.

“We appreciate Senator Mustapha’s recognition of our work and his unwavering support. This partnership is one we value immensely, and we look forward to more collaborative efforts to foster unity and progress in Igbomina land,” he said.

The empowerment programme, where the donation was made, also saw the presence of Senators Lola Ashiru and Makanjuola Ajadi, as well as Kwara South APC Chairman, Hon. Banji Olatoye, underscoring the collective commitment to advancing development in the region.
