By Alabidun Shuaib AbdulRahman
Members of the Oloriegbe family in Ilorin, Kwara State, has Thursday held a special prayer session in support of the governorship ambition of their kinsman, Dr Ibrahim Yahaya Oloriegbe.
The gathering, which took place at the family’s ancestral mosque in Alore, drew prominent members of the family, including the head of the household, Alhaji Abdulrahman Oloriegbe, and other elders.
The prayer session was led by Alhaji Abdulrafiu Oloriegbe, with participants offering supplications for the success of the former lawmaker’s aspiration ahead of the 2027 governorship election in the state.

Oloriegbe was present at the event, joining his kinsmen in what was described as a symbolic moment of unity and spiritual backing for his political ambition.
The development comes amid recent political undercurrents within the family, following reports that some individuals, said to be from the extended family, had earlier aligned with another aspirant in the race.
However, the gathering appeared to project a broader family position, as participants openly expressed support for Oloriegbe’s candidacy.
Those in attendance stressed the need for divine guidance in leadership, noting that political ambition requires wisdom, humility and dedication to public service.
They prayed for his success, protection and clarity of purpose as political activities gradually intensify in the state.
Oloriegbe, who represented Kwara Central in the 9th National Assembly, is among the prominent figures in the All Progressives Congress eyeing the governorship seat.
