JDS Endorsement Sparks Wave of Support for OTOPE Across Egbeda/Ona-Ara

Following the thunderous declaration of support by the Okanlomo Oodua, Engr. Jubril Dotun Sanusi (JDS), for Hon (Dr.) Ezekiel Temitope Oladimeji (OTOPE)’s House of Representatives ambition come 2027, a political tsunami is sweeping through the constituency as prominent personalities across party lines abandon their former affiliations to join the OTOPE movement.

The domino effect, triggered by JDS’s bold endorsement, has seen unprecedented realignment of political heavyweights, grassroots mobilizers, and community stakeholders across all wards of Egbeda and Ona-Ara Local Governments. This mass movement is not merely about political convenience—it is a clear testament to OTOPE’s growing political weight and the irresistible pull of the JDS-OTOPE political coalition.

Sources within the constituency confirm that the wave of defections has fundamentally altered the power dynamics, with former skeptics now rushing to identify with a movement that combines JDS’s formidable political machinery, strategic acumen, and grassroots network with OTOPE’s proven humanitarian credentials, youth appeal, and service-oriented track record through the OTOPE Foundation.

Political observers note that what we are witnessing is the emergence of an unstoppable political force. With JDS’s strategic backing lending credibility and organizational muscle, and OTOPE’s people-centered philosophy ensuring grassroots connection, the 2027 battle for Egbeda-Ona-Ara Rep seat appears to be taking a definitive shape.

As one community leader put it: “When JDS speaks, Ibadan politics listens. When he backs OTOPE, the people follow. This is no longer a campaign—it’s a movement.”

The message from Egbeda-Ona-Ara is clear: The political realignment has begun, the pieces are falling in place, and the OTOPE project, anchored by the JDS political structure, is gathering momentum that will be difficult to halt before 2027.
