As the world commemorates International Widows Day today, June 23, 2025, Dr. Temitope Oladimeji, affectionately known as OTOPE, has renewed his call for compassion and sustained support for widows particularly within the Egbeda/Ona-Ara Federal Constituency of Oyo State.

Thanks to Dr. Oladimeji’s leadership and unwavering generosity, countless widows across Egbeda/Ona-Ara now have renewed hope, restored dignity, and the means to rebuild their lives.
