2027: Ex-LG chair declares for Ogun Assembly

In the political landscape of Ogun State, the voice of Tosin Adeluyi, a former Chairman of Imeko-Afon Local Government, rings clear as he announces his bid for the State House of Assembly. Representing the Imeko-Afon State Constituency under the banner of the All Progressives Congress, Adeluyi's aspiration is rooted in a profound commitment to fairness and balanced representation.

“

My decision to contest is the product of wide-ranging consultations and a deep sense of responsibility to serve the people with integrity, competence, and measurable impact.

His declaration, made during a strategic meeting with stakeholders in Ilara, Ogun State, is more than just a personal ambition; it's a call for equity within the local political structure. Adeluyi pointedly noted a significant imbalance: Zone 3 of Imeko-Afon Local Government, comprising three wards, has been conspicuously absent from key political offices for the last eight years. This oversight, he argues, denies a substantial portion of the constituency a genuine sense of belonging and participation.

“

I want to draw attention to a critical concern of equity within the local political structure. Zone 3 of Imeko-Afon Local Government, comprising three wards, has, for the past eight years, remained without representation in key political offices.

Adeluyi's vision, encapsulated in 'Projecting Advancement for Tomorrow,' promises sustainable development, robust grassroots engagement, and inclusive governance. However, the cornerstone of his campaign is the appeal for fairness in the zoning arrangement. He believes that allocating the next representative opportunity to Zone 3 is not merely a matter of political expediency but a necessary step towards fostering unity and strengthening the democratic fabric of the constituency.

“

In the spirit of fairness, justice, and inclusive governance, I respectfully advocate that the forthcoming opportunity be allocated to Zone 3 as a necessary step toward fostering balance and strengthening unity.

This push for equitable representation resonates deeply within local communities, where such imbalances can breed discontent and alienation. Adeluyi's candidacy offers a promise of quality representation and a commitment to ensuring all segments of the constituency are heard and valued. The endorsement from stakeholders at the meeting signals a strong local backing, positioning him as a formidable contender in the upcoming elections.

“

It will also give all segments of the constituency a genuine sense of belonging.
