Diesel Injection Pump and Nozzles Association of Oyo State backs Akika’s grassroots movement and pledges support for Allied Peoples’ Movement candidates.
The grassroots mobilization drive of the Omituntun Benedict Forum (OBF) has received a significant boost following the appointment of its founder, Oloye Benedict Akika, JP, as Patron of the Diesel Injection Pump and Nozzles Association of Oyo State.
The endorsement was announced during a courtesy visit by the association’s state executive members to Akika’s residence, where they praised his contributions to community development, youth empowerment, and support for artisans across the state.
Leading the delegation, the association’s President, Adeola Bakare, alongside Vice President Engr. Lawal Muyideen, Secretary Engr. Abiodun Lawal, and Public Relations Officer Engr. Sanusi Kamorudeen, described Akika as a leader whose philanthropic efforts and commitment to grassroots development have earned widespread respect.
The association also used the occasion to declare its support for candidates of the Allied Peoples’ Movement (APM) in future elections, stating that the party represents a platform capable of sustaining developmental achievements and people-focused governance in Oyo State.
According to the group, the infrastructural development, workers’ welfare initiatives, and governance style witnessed under Governor Seyi Makinde inspired their decision to align with Akika’s political movement and support the APM’s vision for the state.
Responding, Akika expressed appreciation for the honour and confidence reposed in him, assuring members of the association of his continued support and commitment to advancing the welfare of artisans and small business owners.
The OBF founder reiterated his determination to collaborate with stakeholders across Oyo State to strengthen grassroots participation in governance and work towards the success of APM candidates while promoting inclusive development and sustainable progress.
The latest endorsement is seen by supporters as another indication of OBF’s growing influence and expanding network of grassroots supporters ahead of the 2027 political season in Oyo State.
