Ex-Oyo LG Chairman Olaosebikan Declares for Reps, Donates New APC Secretariat

In a significant political development in Oyo State, Kehinde Olaosebikan, a former Chairman of Oluyole Local Government Area, has officially thrown his hat into the ring for the Oluyole Federal Constituency seat in the House of Representatives. His declaration, made at the APC's weekly meeting, was accompanied by a substantial donation: a brand new secretariat for the party in the local government.

Olaosebikan, who previously served as Chief Press Secretary to the late Governor Lam Adesina, has positioned himself as a staunch supporter of President Bola Tinubu's administration. He articulated a clear vision for mobilizing support for Tinubu's re-election in 2027, citing the 'Renewed Hope Agenda' as a catalyst for national progress. His commitment extends to ensuring a resounding victory for the President within his federal constituency, aiming to significantly increase Tinubu's vote share by 2027.

The former council boss highlighted the strong assurance of support he has received from members of other political parties within the constituency. This cross-party appeal, he believes, will translate into a unified effort to secure not only his election but also the success of all APC candidates in the upcoming polls, should he secure the party's ticket.

“

Members of other political parties in Oluyole Local Government are already assuring me that if the APC gives me the ticket, they will mobilise their members not only for my elections but for all the APC candidates in next year’s election.

The newly donated secretariat is envisioned as a modern hub for party activities, providing spacious facilities for the party chairman, secretary, state executives, and importantly, for youth and women's meetings. This move underscores Olaosebikan's focus on grassroots engagement and party infrastructure development. His legislative agenda promises to focus on constituency development, educational support, skills acquisition programs, employment facilitation, and aid for indigent students and women, reflecting a commitment to inclusive growth and empowerment.

From the perspective of a local Nigerian publication like The Punch, this story is about local politics, party dynamics, and the aspirations of a seasoned politician. It highlights the importance of party infrastructure, the mobilization of support, and the focus on grassroots development. While international media might overlook such local political maneuvering, for the people of Oluyole, this is a crucial step in their representation and the potential direction of their community's development.

With the spacious place now, our youths and our women can have a convenient place for their meetings.
