The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Oyo East and Oyo West has commended Hon. Olorunpoto Cephas Rahaman for his exceptional Sallah intervention — a gesture widely described as the first of its kind by any PDP member in the Oyo State House of Assembly representation.
In celebration of the Eid festivities, Hon. Rahaman, fondly known as ‘Poto’, distributed cash gifts, food items, and rams to party elders, stakeholders, executives, and members across the 20 wards in Oyo East and Oyo West Local Governments. His reach extended to non-indigenes, traditional leaders, selected clerics, and the general public, reflecting a deep commitment to inclusive and people-first leadership.
The distribution was conducted without discrimination, uniting all segments of the PDP and the wider community. This compassionate initiative strengthened bonds across political, ethnic, and religious lines, reinforcing the spirit of solidarity that defines both the PDP and the people of Oyo.
Hon. Rahaman’s gesture received widespread commendation from political and traditional leaders, grassroots stakeholders, and faith leaders. Those who openly applauded the intervention include:
> Rt. Hon. Moruff Atilola, Alhaji Isiaka Adebayo, Alhaji Kaola, Alhaji Fatai Okunlola Obabi, Alhaji Oleojegi, Hon. Tiri Azeez, Prince V.A. Tella, Alhaji Adeyanju, Alhaji Bili Onifade, Elder Ayoola, Alhaji Rasheed Agba, as well as traditional rulers in Oyo East and Oyo West, Ward Chairmen, Women Leaders, Youth Leaders, non-indigenous leaders, and respected clerics.
Their collective message was clear:
> “This is the kind of leadership our community needs—genuine, unifying, and people-driven.”
Hon. Olorunpoto Cephas Rahaman has consistently proven himself to be a high-performing legislator whose impact goes far beyond legislative chambers. His interventions reach the people directly and meaningfully.
As the PDP celebrates this season of reflection and generosity, we proudly acknowledge his unifying efforts, purposeful leadership, and unwavering dedication to the service of all—irrespective of class, creed, or origin.
