Oshodi/Isolo Constituency I: Weighing the Aspirations Within the APC

As the political landscape gradually gathers momentum ahead of the 2027 general elections, the race for the All Progressives Congress (APC) ticket to represent the good people of Oshodi/Isolo Constituency I in the House of Representatives is beginning to take shape.

A number of distinguished and credible aspirants have emerged, each bringing unique strengths, experience, and political capital to the table. Among the most prominent names currently in the spotlight are the incumbent Honourable Bashiru Ayinla Dawodu, Idris Bolaji Muse Ariyo (IBMA), Taiwo Ayedun (popularly known as Shanana), and Lawrence Olarenwaju Iyere (LOI).

Below is a brief, objective insight into their political standing, influence, and the conversations surrounding their aspirations.

*Hon. Bashiru Ayinla Dawodu*

Honourable Dawodu currently represents Oshodi/Isolo Constituency I in the House of Representatives and is serving his second term. While he has not formally declared his intention to seek a third term, his constitutional eligibility leaves the door open for a possible return.

As an indigene of Mafoluku, his grassroots appeal and familiarity among constituents remain significant political assets. Incumbency often carries strategic advantages, including experience and the possibility of attaining a ranking position in the House, which could translate into greater influence and benefits for the constituency.

Should he decide to re-enter the race, the question arises: would continuity and experience make him the preferred choice for the party and the people?

*Idris Bolaji Muse Ariyo (IBMA)*

Idris Bolaji Muse Ariyo is a seasoned grassroots politician who previously served two terms as Chairman of Oshodi/Isolo Local Government. Earlier in his career, he worked closely with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as a Personal Assistant, and he currently serves as a board member of the South-West Development Commission (SWDC).

Widely regarded as politically connected, IBMA’s proximity to the corridors of power remains evident. His tenure as one of the youngest local government chairmen in Lagos State, combined with his continued engagement at the grassroots level, reinforces his credibility.

With a respected political family background and sustained visibility in the political space, he is undoubtedly a strong contender. However, with the presidential directive requiring political appointees to resign before contesting elections, a key question lingers: will IBMA step down to pursue this ambition?

Furthermore, could a consensus arrangement influenced by party leadership at the national level shape the outcome of this race?

*Lawrence Olarenwaju Iyere (LOI)*

Lawrence Olarenwaju Iyere represents a vibrant, youthful presence in the race. Particularly popular within Shogunle Ward, he is widely known for his philanthropy and community engagement.

A successful entrepreneur, LOI has built a reputation for generosity and people-oriented initiatives. His marital ties to Neya Uzor Kalu, daughter of former Abia State Governor and current Senator, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu, further position him within a network of influential political figures.

His active grassroots mobilization and consistent public engagement have strengthened his visibility, while speculations of backing from notable party stakeholders add intrigue to his candidacy.

With his resources, youthfulness, and philanthropic appeal, many are asking: could his connection with the people translate into securing the party’s ticket?

*Taiwo Ayedun (Shanana)*

Taiwo Ayedun, fondly called Shanana, is a seasoned political figure with over two decades of experience in active politics. Beginning his journey in the Alliance for Democracy (AD), he has built a reputation as a loyal and consistent party man.

He has served in various capacities, including as an aide to Hon. Moruf Akinderu Fatai (MAF), a former two-term House of Representatives member and current Lagos State Commissioner for Housing. He also held the position of Senior Special Assistant during the administration of former Governor Akinwunmi Ambode.

With a firm political base in Mafoluku Ward and strong ties to established political structures, Shanana’s candidacy is reportedly supported by influential stakeholders, including figures within the Senate and long-standing party loyalists.

Given his wealth of experience and deep-rooted political network, could he emerge as the party’s consensus or preferred candidate?

*Conclusion*

As the political atmosphere continues to evolve, it is expected that more aspirants may declare their intentions in the coming weeks. However, the current lineup already presents a compelling mix of experience, youth, influence, and grassroots appeal.

Should the party opt against a consensus arrangement and allow a competitive primary, the race promises to be both engaging and unpredictable.

The question remains: who among these aspirants possesses the political dexterity, acceptance, and strategic advantage to emerge victorious?

“it is time to name names and call a spade a spade"
A political shenanigan that must stop.

Then one of the Twelve—the one called Judas Iscariot—went to the chief priests and asked, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver him over to you?” So they counted out for him thirty pieces of silver. From then on Judas watched for an opportunity to hand him over. Matthew 26:14-16

All bad behavior is condemned by your Lord.
Quran 17:38

The respect in the progressive family unites everyone to achieve a common goal.

From the time of S.O Ania to Afeez Balogun Ipasa to Bolaji Idris Muse Ariyo the office of the chairman had always been the most respected office in Oshodi/Isolo.

It is so embarrassing to see some set of nuisance continuously disrespecting the office of the chairman of Oshodi/Isolo local government at every opportunity.

Constructive criticism is acceptable but deliberately spreading false information because of agony of defect in the last primary election is not appreciated. A tree cannot make a forest.

Without any fear of confrontation the followers of Honourable Hakeem Sokunle are deliberately mocking the office of the chairman of Oshodi/Isolo local government the number one citizen of Oshodi.

Sponsoring different propaganda Online and offline to put down the reputation of a visionary leader Otunba Kehinde Adeola Almoroof Oloyede.

This is the first time a member of APC in Oshodi is working tirelessly to sabotage the victory of the party in the coming local government elections.

It is disheartening to see a two term state assembly member who is supposed to a role model and a leader engaging in fruitless battle. Rather than calling is political animals to order he kept rewarding them publicly.

In less than 30days to local government elections it is senseless for any APC member to be plotting the down fall of any candidate (chairman or councilor) true party men are upright to see APC victorious in the coming local government elections.

A quick reminder to Hon.Olusola Sokunle Hakeem that APC was a party he was smuggled in by the Honourable speaker Lagos state house of assembly RT Hon. Mudashiru Obasa. It will be of benefit to Hon.Olusola Sokunle Hakeem to build a political structure in Oshodi rather than creating enemies and division in a united loving APC Oshodi.

The followers of Hon.Olusola Sokunle Hakeem without pretense or fear are spreading false information about the person of the executive chairman of Oshodi.

Today the unacceptable degrading of the office of the executive chairman of Oshodi/Isolo by followers and supporters of Hon.Olusola Sokunle Hakeem must come to an end.

It is time for over 10,000 followers and faithfuls of Otunba Kehinde Adeola Almoroof Oloyede aka Kendoo to resist any further attempt to deliberately rubbish the reputation of Otunba Kehinde Almoroof Oloyede by people without political direction.

It is advisable for Hon.Olusola Sokunle Hakeem to join hands with the party candidate.

If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.

The repeated propaganda

“There is sickness in their hearts, and Allah ˹only˺ lets their sickness increase. They will suffer a painful punishment for their [persistent] lies.”
(Q, 2:10)

and who have fallen away, to be brought back to repentance. To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace. Hebrews 6:6

They have spread a lot of lies against the messiah of Oshodi politics Honourable Kehinde Adeola Oloyede Al-Maroof. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Honourable Kehinde Oloyede Al-Maroof is the will of God and it is the mercy of God that is prevailing.

It is now a regular routine for enemies of Oshodi/Isolo local government to push out allegations against the incumbent chairman of the local government Honourable Kehinde Oloyede Al-Maroof on baseless issues that deplete human reasoning.

The sponsored allegations by some former public office holders within the local government shows the level of greed and hatred for the development of Oshodi.

It is amazing how a reasonable person will question the chairman ability to construct over 50roads within a space of 4years this was an achievement their sponsors never attempted in 8years. Their purpose in power was to enrich their pockets with money allocated for the development of Oshodi and living a poverty lifestyle to deceive the residents of Oshodi.

They faulted the building of an ultra modern primary school ( St.Paul Primary School), their sponsor never renovate a single classroom in 8years enjoying the resources allocated to the constituency.

They faulted construction of a new ultra modern health care facility they don’t love development because they failed during their time, they had opportunity to impact positively in the lives of residents of Oshodi.

They faulted palliatives distributed by Honourable Kehinde Oloyede Al-Maroof on a regular basis to provide support for residents. Their sponsor don’t love the poor and needy because during their time of Covid-19 their sponsor was busy hoarding palliatives and reselling them to make personal gains.

While their sponsors were unable to construct 7boreholes in 8years Honourable Kehinde Oloyede Al-Maroof have constructed more than 50boreholes in less than 4years.

They failed in getting attention in faulting the giant strives and uncommon transformations of developmental project of the best local government chairman in Nigeria in 2024 Honourable Adeola Kehinde Oloyede Al-Maroof.
They are now spreading false information about the personal lifestyle of the undefeated chairman of Oshodi/Isolo local government Honourable Kehinde Oloyede Al-Maroof.

They propagate false information about His late mother, Alhaja Taiye Almaroof highly respected 1st Iyaloja of Oshodi and also doubled as an activist and a politician. A very influential woman and great leader, they envy the dead that is how callous they are and their sponsors, they never had a mother like Alhaja Taiye Almaroof.

They contested the age of Honourable Kehinde Oloyede Al-Maroof in every media, that was foolish and myopic thinking, without any form of evidence to back it up, Things like date of birth are personal information that only the owner is entitled to reveal except it had been declared in multiple places.

In all this baseless allegations in the last 3months it shows that it is the desperation of a very known loser trying effortlessly to assassinate the personality of the incumbent chairman Honourable Kehinde Oloyede Al-Maroof.

It will be unreasonable trying hard to stop a moving train.
