In the vibrant political landscape of Orile-Agege Local Council Development Area (LCDA), a new chapter is being written, a chapter defined by integrity, wisdom, and a resolute commitment to progress. That chapter is led by none other than (Hon. Akinola Abiodun Idowu), fondly known across Communities in Lagos and beyond as (Dodo), a name that resonates deeply with grassroots influence, selfless service, and visionary leadership.

A JOURNEY DEFINED BY EXPERIENCE

Hon. Akinola’s political journey is nothing short of inspirational. From serving diligently at Zonal, Ward, and Local Government Party Exco levels, to becoming Special Assistant to the Right-Honourable Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, RT. Hon. (Dr) Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa, his resume reflects the evolution of a leader shaped by mentorship, sacrifice, and commitment. As the immediate past Welfare Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State, representing both Agege and Orile-Agege at the party state level, he strengthened welfare outreach within the party, ensuring inclusiveness and care for all cadres.

His nomination as the APC Chairmanship Candidate under the Political Platform of All Progressive Congress-APC for Orile-Agege LCDA and his eventual victory (Unopposed) is a powerful testament to his influence and the trust reposed in him for opposition parties, also by party faithful and stakeholders. Indeed, it’s rare for a son of the soil to rise with such clarity of purpose, without friction from opposition, this is a proof of his grassroots connection and adequate loyalty.

Those decisions, grounded in patience and loyalty, highlight his humility and strategic focus. Rather than seek quick gratification, he chose growth through perseverance, aligning with political mentors and remaining devoted to the cause of Agege and Orile-Agege’s transformation.

His loyalty to RT. Hon. (Dr) Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa, leaders across Agege LGA and Orile-Agege LCDA, and the APC family speaks volumes. It showcases a man guided not by ambition alone, but by conscience, vision, and collective progress.
