Oluwaseun Olufade ONALA: A Final Nail on the Coffin of Existence of APC in Ibadan North|| By Akinloluwa Akinbode

With just a few hours to the 2024 local government elections in Oyo state, many political pundits are of the opinion that the decisive electoral process and eventual emergence of Hon. Oluwaseun Olufade, candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) is an event that would signal the end of the All Progressive Congress’ presence in Ibadan North.

This is envisaged to be a critical blow, and a situation sealing the fate of the APC in rendering many leaders and gladiators of the opposition party in Ibadan North to political relegation or oblivion.

There is no reason, other than the projected track records and success of the incoming administration under Olufade Oluwaseun whose political trajectory and blueprint have attracted and endeared him to many residents, corporate bodies and the political family, irrespective of leanings.

With his unwavering dedication to community development and love for the masses, Olufade’s candidacy brings a breath of fresh air to the council with his vision on inclusivity, transparency, and refined policies that directly address the needs of hundreds of communities.

Needs ranging from infrastructure development, accessible healthcare services, education reform, and job creation, Olufade’s aspirations and plans strike a chord with the yearnings of the local populace, inspiring hope and development.

Ever since the emergence of His Excellency, Engr. Seyi Makinde and the discovery of a colossus and promising political figure, Hon. Olufade, APC and other opposition parties’ firm dominance on Ibadan North has been unyielding. Oluwaseun Olufade’s candidacy complements and presents a powerful challenge to this long-standing dominance through his engagement with a diverse range of stakeholders including youth groups, women’s organizations, and Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo community leaders, Olufade is building a formidable coalition that transcends party lines and dismantles the traditional power structures.

Olufade, an embodiment of humility, compassion, accountability, unity and positive impact is a rare candidate who is well-tailored to usher in a new era of progress and development for the people of Ibadan North.
