OLUMUYIWA ADU “CUBANA”: THE PEOPLE’S CANDIDATE FOR ONDO CENTRAL SENATORIAL DISTRICT
By Lekan Owolabi
In the political landscape of Ondo State, one name resonates deeply across communities, towns, and villages, Dr. Barr. Olumuyiwa Adu aka “Cubana”-A man defined by compassion, commitment, and visionary services.
Dr. Adu has steadily emerged as a beacon of hope for the people, long before any political ambition was declared. His journey has been one of quiet but impactful service, rooted in a genuine desire to uplift those around him.
For years, Dr. Adu has been on the Frontline of humanitarian service not for headlines, but from a place of sincere dedication to humanity.
Through targeted empowerment initiatives, scholarship programs, business grants, and personal mentorship, he has touched the lives of countless individuals and families. His efforts go far beyond handouts; they represent a long-term commitment to sustainable growth and human dignity.
What sets Dr. Adu apart is not just his generosity, but the intentionality behind his acts of service. From young students struggling to afford education, to women seeking capital for small-scale businesses, to communities in need of basic amenities his interventions have brought real, measurable change. He is a man of the people and the people know it.
Across Ondo Central, stories abound of Dr. Adu’s open-door policy, a place where those in need find not just help, but hope. It’s common to see a crowd of people gathered outside his home or office, knowing they won’t be turned away. Whether it’s financial aid, job referrals, legal support, or simple words of encouragement, Dr. Adu offers what many politicians promise but rarely deliver: genuine, personal engagements with the people.
Now, the people are calling loudly, collectively and relentlessly.
They are calling on Dr. Olumuyiwa Adu to step into a broader platform to represent them not just with charity, but with legislative powers. The call is not born out of political convenience, but out of a desire for tested, trusted leadership. The people have seen what he can do outside the system now they want him in the Senate, where his voice, values and vision can shape policies, attract development, and defend their interests.
This groundswell of support is unprecedented. It is a grassroots movement driven by genuine love and respect. Unlike the usual political noise, this movement is organic, people-powered and fueled by evidence -based experiences.
Dr. Adu is not being pushed by godfathers or political deals; he is being lifted by the people themselves.
In a time when public trust in leadership is at an all-time low, Dr. Adu brings a refreshing alternative- a blend of professional expertise, legal acumen, and street-level empathy.
As a lawyer and advocate, he understands the machinery of governance. As a philanthropist, he understands the pulse of the people. This unique combination makes him a perfect fit for the Senate to be not just a lawmaker, but a changemaker.
Dr. Adu is not just entering politics; he is extending his services. His candidacy is not about ambition it’s about mission. A mission to institutionalize the change he’s already delivering. A mission to ensure that government works for the ordinary citizen. A mission to bring equity, empowerment, and development to every part of Ondo Central.
The message is clear: Dr. Barr. Olumuyiwa Adu is the people’s candidate. He is not being marketed; he is being demanded. The trust he has built over the years now forms the foundation of a campaign that promises not just to win votes, but to win hearts and deliver results.
As Ondo Central looks to the next chapter of its political history, the people seek a leader with proven character, capacity, and compassion. They seek someone who doesn’t just understand policy, but understands people. They seek Dr. Olumuyiwa Adu a servant-leader ready to become a legislative champion.
The movement has begun. The people are ready. And so is Dr. Adu.
