Hon. Lawrence Steven Sponsors Cultural Musical Tribute for Ondo Governor’s Youth-Friendly Leadership
Hon. Lawrence Steven Sponsors Cultural Musical Tribute for Ondo Governor’s Youth-Friendly Leadership
The air in Ondo State is filled with rhythm, gratitude, and cultural pride as Hon. Lawrence Steven, a respected board member of the Ondo State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission (OSOPADEC), has taken a remarkable step that blends politics with art. In an extraordinary gesture of appreciation, he has sponsored a special musical track to celebrate the visionary leadership of the Governor of Ondo State.
The track was composed and performed by Ikeyoleimoh Iwabi, an illustrious son of Arogbo Ibe, whose music has long been a beacon of Ijaw culture and identity. Known for his soulful artistry and ability to connect with the heartbeat of his people, Ikeyoleimoh used this project to turn gratitude into melody, giving voice to the unspoken appreciation of thousands across the state.
This initiative was announced to journalists by Comrade Maggi Romanus, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC). With heartfelt conviction, he explained that the song is more than music—it is a message of recognition and loyalty to a Governor whose policies and projects have touched the lives of young people and communities across the coastal Ijaw axis of Ondo State.
According to Romanus, the Governor has not only stood out as a youth-friendly leader but has also proven himself as a unifier whose governance style uplifts minority groups and promotes inclusivity. From education to infrastructure, from empowerment to social development, his leadership has built bridges of trust and progress across communities that once felt neglected.
Quoting Comrade Romanus: “This music is not just a tune to dance to—it is a declaration that Ondo State has a Governor who hears the cry of the youth and acts with purpose. It tells the story of a man who sees beyond divisions, who values the Ijaw Nation, and who deserves our unflinching support. Through music, which touches the soul more than speeches can, we say thank you to him.”
Observers see this development as a groundbreaking intersection of politics and art. By sponsoring this track, Hon. Lawrence Steven demonstrates how leaders can channel culture as a tool of solidarity and as a medium to amplify the voices of their people. For the Ijaw Nation, and particularly the people of Arogbo Ibe, this song becomes not just a tribute but also a cultural archive—an immortalization of their appreciation and pride.
The Governor’s youth-friendly policies have clearly left a mark, and this project reminds everyone that progress is best celebrated collectively. As the music begins to spread across Ondo and beyond, it is expected to inspire both the old and the young, binding them in a shared narrative of gratitude, loyalty, and hope for continuity.
For Hon. Lawrence Steven, the gesture speaks volumes about his political maturity and sense of responsibility. For Ikeyoleimoh Iwabi, the illustrious son of Arogbo Ibe, it is a testament to how talent and tradition can serve as vessels of unity. And for the Governor, it is another seal of the people’s confidence in his leadership.
This collaboration tells a broader story: that when culture and governance work hand in hand, communities thrive, bonds strengthen, and legacies are built.
