A socio-civic group, the Ekiti Youth Solidarity Movement (EYSM), has extended its heartfelt congratulations to the former Kwara State Commissioner for Finance, Hon. Chief (Mrs.) Olasumbo Florence Oyeyemi, following her emergence as the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for the Ekiti/Irepodun/Isin/Oke-Ero Federal Constituency ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The youth group also celebrated her recent appointment as the Kwara State Co-coordinator of the Tinubu Torch Bearers (TTB), describing both developments as well-deserved milestones in her long-standing career of grassroots public service.
In an official joint statement obtained by 9japarrot media and signed by the EYSM President, Comrade Ogunbiyi Victor Babatope, and Secretary, Princess Opeyemi Ishola, the movement noted that her dual success reflects the immense structural confidence placed in her leadership by both party hierarchies and constituent delegates.
The group lauded Hon. Oyeyemi’s proven track record of accessibility, stating that her approach to community-based development has consistently been defined by administrative diligence, civility, and a genuine commitment to regional welfare.
“Over the years, Hon. Chief Olasumbo Florence Oyeyemi has become widely known for her accessibility, commitment to community initiatives, and consistent engagement with people from diverse backgrounds. We acknowledge these developments as important milestones in her record of public engagement and service. They reflect the confidence placed in her leadership and recognize her sustained contributions to grassroots engagement, community development, and organizational responsibility,” the statement read.
Highlighting the gender-mainstreaming significance of her ticket, the movement emphasized that her emergence serves as a powerful inspiration for young people, particularly young women across Kwara South, to actively pursue lives of constructive civic participation, integrity, and political leadership.
EYSM added that her deployment to the leadership of the Tinubu Torch Bearers brings significant responsibilities in stakeholder engagement and policy advocacy, expressing absolute confidence that the former commissioner will deploy her professional wealth of experience to advance the Renewed Hope Agenda in Kwara State.
Reaffirming its commitment to regional peace and unity, the youth solidarity movement urged all political actors within the federal constituency to embrace respectful dialogue, offering prayers for divine wisdom, sound health, and discernment for Hon. Oyeyemi as she steps into her new national and constituency roles.
