A prominent socio-cultural group based in Kwara South, "Omo Ibile Igbomina" , has praised Senator Saliu Mustapha, the National Assembly representative for Kwara Central Senatorial District, hailing him as a steadfast ally of the Igbomina people.

The organisation reaffirmed its commitment to collaborating with the senator to drive developmental initiatives across Kwara State. The commendation followed a recent donation of a bus by Senator Mustapha to support the group’s activities, an act described as a tangible demonstration of his dedication to community development and cultural preservation.

Speaking during a press briefing in Ilorin on Sunday, the National President of Omo Ibile Igbomina , Elder Gabriel Jimoh, stated that the donation fulfilled a pledge made by the senator during last year’s Igbomina Day celebration, where he served as Chief Launcher.

Jimoh further praised Senator Mustapha for his consistent efforts in advancing human capital development, infrastructure projects, and initiatives supporting women and youth empowerment. He underscored the senator’s role as a catalyst for progress in the region, bridging cultural and developmental priorities for the Igbomina community.

“His dedication to the welfare of his constituents is commendable. This donation is yet another demonstration of his commitment to initiatives that uplift our people”, Elder Jimoh said.

According to him, the newly acquired bus will greatly enhance the organization’s outreach efforts, facilitating better engagement with communities and strengthening initiatives aimed at preserving Igbomina’s rich cultural heritage.

“We appreciate Senator Mustapha’s recognition of our work and his unwavering support. This partnership is one we value immensely, and we look forward to more collaborative efforts to foster unity and progress in Igbomina land”, he said.

The empowerment programme, where the donation was made, also saw the presence of Senators Lola Ashiru, Makanjuola Ajadi, and Kwara South APC Chairman, Hon. Banji Olatoye, underscoring the collective commitment to advancing development in the region.
