In a politically charged engagement that’s already sending ripples through Ondo State's development sector, the Executive Chairman of Ese-Odo Local Government Area, High Chief Caleb Ebimobowei Molos, has issued a strong-worded demand to the Ondo State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission (OSOPADEC): stop the rhetoric and deliver results.
The meeting, held on June 26, 2025, at the OSOPADEC headquarters, was anything but ceremonial. High Chief Molos, known for his fearless and unfiltered leadership, challenged the Commission’s leadership to correct the glaring imbalances in project allocation across its mandate areas.
“Ese-Odo is not begging for charity. We are a mandate area under OSOPADEC by law, and we demand the full weight of the Commission’s presence,” Molos asserted. “Our people deserve better. This partnership must start working — not on paper, but in our communities.”
🏛️ A Statement of Bold Leadership
This engagement marks a strategic shift in leadership from quiet advocacy to direct action. It was a clear departure from diplomacy-as-usual and reflected the pulse of a people tired of developmental neglect.
“The time for lip service is over. For far too long, our people have been given promises without performance. This administration will not tolerate marginalization. OSOPADEC must act — and act now,” Molos declared.
The presence of Senior High Chief Bibopere Ajube, a key APC leader in Ondo State, reinforced the weight of the Chairman’s position, indicating wide political support for his demand-driven approach.
🤝 Key Stakeholders in Attendance
The meeting featured high-level participants, including:
- Dr. Olujimi Kufor – Director of Projects, OSOPADEC
- Hon. (Dr.) Tob Ebiwoni Loko – Commissioner-designate, Ese-Odo
- Barr. Daniel Agbede – Representative, Ministry of Justice
- Senior OSOPADEC officials and traditional stakeholders
Focus areas of discussion included infrastructure, healthcare access, youth and women empowerment, education, and indigenous employment. The message was clear: it’s time for implementation, not promises.
📢 Tangible Transformation Over Empty Promises
High Chief Molos underscored the urgent need for OSOPADEC to break away from cosmetic interventions and begin deep, community-based projects that directly impact lives in Ese-Odo LGA.
“We want projects that touch lives — clinics that treat our sick, roads that connect our towns, schools that educate our children, and skills centers that empower our youths,” he said.
💬 Political Analysts: “This is a Game-Changer”
Analysts have hailed the Chairman’s bold demand as a game-changer, marking a new era of proactive leadership in Ese-Odo — one that is assertive, strategic, and uncompromising in its quest for equity.
His public confrontation with OSOPADEC signals that the days of passive leadership are over. Ese-Odo wants results — not rhetoric.
📰 New Dawn of Accountability
With this engagement, High Chief Molos has made it clear: leadership in Ese-Odo has stepped into a new phase, one where every development partner will be held accountable to deliver on promises, by law and by moral obligation.
This press statement was made available to journalists by Hon. Dennis Pounah, Chief Press Secretary to the Executive Chairman of Ese-Odo Local Government Area.
