OMO IWA: THE MAN WHO TURNED PROMISES INTO PAVEMENT

We have seen representatives who came, saw, and vanished. They shook hands during elections, then shook off the people after victory. But Omo Iwa is not that man. He is not representing Ijebu Central Federal Constituency to learn our problems,he is doing so because he already knew them, and more importantly, he came with a plan to solve them.

In three years, he has not hidden in Abuja. He has not sent excuses. He has brought results. When you drive on some Roads today and you no longer lose your vehicle to craters, that is Omo Iwa. To date, he has rehabilitated Oke-Owo Road in INELG, 2nd Avenue GRA in Ijebu-Ode, and is currently working on Igbile-Ikise-Ilado Road, with Idowa-Ala and Oju-Ona Roads next. That is pavement from promise.

When your child sat for WAEC or JAMB without you selling your last bag of garri, that is Omo Iwa. He has awarded ₦50,000 bursaries to over 305 indigent students (December 2025), plus another 220 students (March 2024), and built six new classroom blocks across schools including St. Peter's Primary School, UNA Primary School,Ikangba Comprehensive High School, and Molipa High School.

When solar light appeared in villages across Odogbolu, Ijebu Ode and Ijebu North East where darkness was the only landlord, that is Omo Iwa. He has installed solar-powered streetlights across several communities and completed solar-powered boreholes in Isiwo Ijebu, Ala Ijebu, and Odo-Kalaba Ijebu.

When a widow in Ilese or a farmer in Odogbolu received a business grant without begging or sleeping at any politician's gate, that is Omo Iwa. Through the OMO-IWA Back-to-Farm Programme, 1,500 farmers received ₦50,000 grants each. He has also given financial grants to 300 widows (December 2025), 135 widows for Easter/Ramadan (March 2024), and another 135 widows (October 2023), plus cash to 100 small-scale traders under the Oko'wo Omo-Iwa initiative.

He built Youth Sports Centre and commissioned it.Not with ribbon‑cutting ceremonies and cameras alone, but with equipments to function. He has also provided continuous financial support to churches, mosques, and community organisations, along with medical outreach for elderly and vulnerable residents (March 2025).

He brought federal agricultural grants to our farmers in the constituency, not to his cousins. Beyond the Back-to-Farm grants, he has distributed fertilisers, knapsack sprayers, and other farm equipment to farmers across the constituency.

He stands on the floor of the House and speaks for Ijebu Central — for our roads, our youths, our elders. He has never missed plenary for two consecutive sessions because he knows that absenteeism is betrayal. He has sponsored four major bills, including the Creation of Ijebu State Bill (2024) and the National Entrepreneurship and Artisan Training Institute Bill (2023), and moved the motion for the construction of Ibefun-Itokin Road.

But beyond projects and budgets, Omo Iwa listens. Every quarter, he sits with us in Ijebu Ode, in Odogbolu, in Ijebu North East. He does not shout. He does not promise heaven. He writes down what you say, and next time you see him, he shows you what he has done. He has hosted stakeholders' meetings across all three local governments (December 2025–January 2026), met with Odogbolu LG (September 2024) and Ijebu North East (October 2024), and continues to give ₦50,000 financial grants to all LG and ward party executives. That is the difference between a politician and a leader. A politician speaks. A leader delivers.

Ijebu Central Federal Constituency deserves the best. But we do not need to search for an unknown saviour. The best is already standing before us, with his shoes dusty from our roads and his hands full of our testimonies. Omo Iwa has shown us what representation means. Now we must show him that we reward performance, not praise‑singers.

Do not gamble with this seat. Do not trade a known achiever for a beautiful biography. Re‑elect Omo Iwa. Not because he is perfect, but because he is proven. Not because he promises, but because he has already done.

Omo Iwa. Done before. Doing now. Will do more.
