The political temperature in Ondo South is rising, and Okeigbo provided another vivid scene as the PDP senatorial candidate for Ondo South, Hon. Mathew Oye Oyerinmade, popularly known as MATO, returned to his home town to a warm and enthusiastic reception.
For MATO, Okeigbo is not unfamiliar territory. It is home, and the reception that greeted his arrival added another chapter to a political journey increasingly built around personal relationships, accessibility and grassroots engagement. From the streets to community gatherings, the message was unmistakable: MATO remains deeply connected to his people.
As the 2027 political season gathers momentum, MATO is preparing to extend his engagement across the six Local Government Areas of Ondo South.
The journey is not about discovering the constituency for the first time; it is about strengthening relationships that have existed over time, listening to communities and understanding what the people expect from their representative in the Red Chamber.
The political jungle is gradually becoming mature, and when it does, the footprints already made on the ground will matter.
In politics, the road remembers the feet that have walked it. MATO’s supporters see the Okeigbo reception as another indication of the growing political energy around his candidacy, while the wider contest continues to unfold.
MATO is not entering Ondo South as a stranger, he knows the people, the communities and the terrain. As the engagement moves from Okeigbo to the other parts of the senatorial district, the coming months will reveal how far the current wave of political enthusiasm travels across the 66 wards.
