The Ose Local Government Chapter of the BTO Ambassadors has officially inaugurated its Women’s Wing, marking a major step toward expanding grassroots political engagement and mobilising women for increased participation in local governance.
The inauguration, held at Ifon—the headquarters of the local government—drew attendance from political leaders, community heads, market women, farmers, and artisans.
In his address, the group leader, Engr. Babatunde Gbalajobi, urged the women to lend unwavering support to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, which he said is committed to improving Nigeria’s development trajectory.
Describing women as pivotal to the nation’s democratic advancement, he noted:
“We believe women are not just supporters but strategic partners in governance and nation-building. What we are witnessing here today is the awakening of that collective energy toward promoting President Tinubu’s achievements in office and sustaining his mandate in the 2027 election.”
Former House of Representatives member for Owo/Ose Federal Constituency and APC leader, Hon. Omosule Eniolorunda, lauded the women of Ose as loyal and dependable. He encouraged them to intensify grassroots mobilisation through house-to-house campaigns, ward meetings, and advocacy initiatives to deepen support for the people-oriented policies of President Tinubu.
The women’s structure, spanning all 12 wards of the local government, was inaugurated by Mrs. Labake Awodeyi, wife of retired Colonel S. B. Awodeyi, who pledged the women’s total commitment to the group’s mission.
She expressed gratitude for the honour and vowed to work with her team to promote the ideals of the BTO Ambassadors across the area.
Coordinator of the BTO Ambassadors in Ondo State, Hon. Raheem Saliu, also charged the women to carry out their new roles with dedication, while assuring them of gender-inclusive political platforms.
The ceremony featured goodwill messages from prominent figures including Asiwaju Olimuyiwa Asagunla, Director General of the Asiwaju Mandate Group; Erelu Ajonibode, Special Assistant to the Governor on Women Engagement; Hon. Feyisetan Awodeyi, former SSA on Mobilization; Hon. Bobade Omolade; Hon. Adelana Adesida Henry; Hon. (Mrs) Ologokun Bosede; and Hon.
