Who Succeeds Ibrahim in Senate? All Eyes on Hon. Mathew Oyerinmade (Mato) as Ondo South’s Next Political Torchbearer
As the race to succeed Senator Jimoh Ibrahim intensifies in the Ondo South Senatorial District, one name continues to resonate across party lines and local communities: Hon. Mathew Oyerinmade popularly known as Mato.
With a reputation for grassroots engagement, legislative experience, and unwavering commitment to development, Mato has emerged as the most formidable contender in the All Progressives Congress (APC). His track record has earned him widespread respect.
Political observers note that Mato’s appeal cuts across the six local government areas in Ondo South, with strong support from Ilaje, Odigbo , Ese- odo, Ile-oluji /Okeigbo, Okitipupa, and Irele. His ability to unify diverse interests within the APC and his cordial relationship with key stakeholders position him as the natural successor to Senator Ibrahim.
While other aspirants have made their intentions known, Mato’s candidacy is seen as a strategic move that could consolidate APC’s dominance in the region. His popularity among the youth and his deep understanding of the district’s challenges make him a compelling choice for the Senate.
The PDP, on the other hand, faces internal divisions and lacks a clear frontrunner, giving Mato and the APC a significant edge. As the primaries approach, party leaders and constituents alike are rallying behind Mato, viewing his emergence as a chance to elevate Ondo South’s voice in national discourse.
In the words of a local party chieftain: “Mato is not just a politician; he’s a movement. His leadership style is inclusive, visionary, and rooted in service. Ondo South needs a senator who understands the terrain and can deliver results. Mato fits that bill perfectly.”
As the political winds shift, Hon. Mathew Oyerinmade stands tall—ready to carry the torch and redefine representation for Ondo South.
