Ogundipe Stephen Olukayode, popularly known as Omoj’omolo and representing Oshodi-Isolo Constituency-01 in the Lagos State House of Assembly, has formally declared his intention to seek a second term. The announcement was made during a gathering of constituents in Oshodi-Isolo, where he anchored his campaign on a record of visible and impactful governance.
Call for Fact-Based Scrutiny
In his speech, Ogundipe invited the public to scrutinize his performance over the past two and a half years. He asserted that his administration has moved beyond rhetoric to deliver tangible dividends of democracy. “Criticize if you must, but let it be constructive and rooted in truth,” he stated. “Let facts guide our discourse, because the records are clear and the data speaks for itself.”
Achievements in Education and Youth Empowerment
Highlighting his interventions across the seven political wards of the constituency, Ogundipe detailed several accomplishments. He noted that over 3,000 pupils benefited from free coaching initiatives, while 1,200 youths received JAMB forms, leading to more than 100 successful higher institution admissions. The lawmaker also secured job placements for constituents and provided vocational training for over 200 individuals to foster sustainable livelihoods.
Infrastructure and Healthcare Initiatives
Beyond road rehabilitation, Ogundipe cited the expansion of street lighting and the opening of economic pathways to aid local traders. He also facilitated grassroots medical screenings and essential services for hundreds of residents, emphasizing his commitment to healthcare access.
Legislative Contributions and Support Programs
On the floor of the House, Ogundipe highlighted his role as a vocal representative, sponsoring people-centered bills and motions addressing critical issues such as flooding, security, and sanitation. He further noted his Constituency Support programs, which provided food and financial assistance to women and young girls during challenging economic periods.
Call for Unity and Endorsements
The lawmaker called on constituents to remain aligned with the progressive policies of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the THEMES Plus Agenda of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu. He framed his re-election as a necessary step to consolidate gains made at the local level in tandem with the state’s broader development goals. “What you see today is a testament to what focused, sincere, and people-driven leadership can achieve. This is not the peak; it is only the beginning,” Ogundipe told the crowd.
Former Vice Chairman of Oshodi/Isolo Local Government, Daisi Oso, urged constituents to continue supporting Ogundipe, noting that lawmaking requires experienced hands. He added that if re-elected, Ogundipe would become a ranking member, a development that would benefit the constituency.
Chief Muraina Akanbi Taiwo, a member of the Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC) and leader of the Oshodi/Isolo chapter of The Mandate Movement, represented by Elder Gbenga Arulogun, also called on constituents to back Ogundipe’s re-election bid. Taiwo urged party members to remain united to secure victory for the APC at the polls, while commending the National President of the NURTW, Alhaji Musiliu Akinsanya (MC Oluomo), for his efforts in fostering unity. The GAC leader also endorsed President Bola Tinubu, Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat, and Ogundipe for the 2027 elections.
Closing his declaration with his signature slogan “Together, Everyone Achieves More,” Ogundipe urged the people of Oshodi-Isolo Constituency-01 to follow the process and renew his mandate to continue the journey of progress.
