As political activities gather momentum ahead of the 2027 elections, attention is increasingly turning to individuals seeking to represent their communities at the state level. One of those making a case for the confidence of voters in Ota State Constituency 1 is Hon. Chief Abayomi Omoroga, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Omoroga’s supporters describe him as a community-oriented leader whose public profile predates his political ambition. They point to his involvement in education, healthcare, youth development, support for widows and promotion of traditional values as evidence of a longstanding commitment to community service.
A Christian and family man, Omoroga spent his formative years around St. Michael’s African Church, Ota, where he is described by associates as disciplined, prudent and committed to upright conduct.
He is also identified with the Iyedi family of the Awori Kingdom, a lineage his supporters say gives him strong ancestral connections across several communities within Ota State Constituency 1.
Although his direct lineage to Ijoko Ward is not claimed, his supporters maintain that residents of the area have embraced him as one of their own, citing his relationships and previous community engagements.
His traditional credentials have also earned him prominent recognition. He currently holds the traditional title of Eletu of Ota, Awori Kingdom, while also serving as Regent of Osi, one of the four quarters of Ota.
One of the major pillars of Omoroga’s public profile is philanthropy. According to information provided by his supporters, his interventions in the community began long before his decision to seek elective office.
In education, he is said to have supported qualified candidates with JAMB forms, particularly young people residing in Ota and surrounding communities.
His supporters also highlight his annual assistance to widows, claiming that more than 100 widows receive financial or material support through his outreach programmes.
Healthcare is another area associated with his community intervention. His supporters cite free medical outreaches, distribution of eyeglasses, medical checks and assistance to individuals facing serious medical challenges.
Omoroga’s relationship with young people is also central to the narrative surrounding his candidacy.
During the Ota Youth Assembly anniversary, he reportedly sponsored a football competition, providing both financial and moral support for the initiative.
His supporters argue that such engagements demonstrate his interest in creating opportunities for young people beyond the electoral cycle.
As Eletu of Ota, Omoroga has also become associated with the promotion of Ota’s traditional heritage.
His supporters describe him as a custodian of cultural values who respects traditional institutions and believes that development should not come at the expense of the community’s cultural identity.
He is also presented as a leader who promotes religious tolerance and maintains relationships across different faith communities.
For Omoroga, the campaign for Ota State Constituency 1 is being presented by his supporters as an extension of his community service rather than the beginning of it.
They argue that his familiarity with the communities, combined with his philanthropic activities and traditional responsibilities, provides a foundation upon which he hopes to build his legislative agenda.
Among the priorities associated with his campaign are effective representation, youth development, improved support for women and vulnerable residents, healthcare interventions and the preservation of Ota’s cultural heritage.
As the political season progresses, voters in Ota State Constituency 1 will ultimately assess the competing candidates, their records, programmes and capacity to represent the constituency.
For Omoroga and his supporters, the message is straightforward: his candidacy is anchored on a record of community engagement and a promise to translate that experience into legislative representation under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
