Mogaji Hon. Olajide Olatoye: A New Dawn of Grassroots-Driven Representation for Lagelu State Constituency

As Lagelu State Constituency prepares for a new chapter in its political journey, the emergence of Mogaji Honorable Olajide Olatoye(Big Daddy Sugar) as a representative at the Oyo State House of Assembly signals renewed hope for purposeful, people-centered leadership.

Widely known as a true grassroots mobiliser and community advocate, Hon. Olatoye steps forward with a clear mission: to deliver brilliant representation anchored on welfare, development, and empowerment for the people of Lagelu.

For years, Lagelu has yearned for a representative who understands its realities not from a distance, but from within. Hon. Olajide Olatoye’s political story is deeply rooted in the communities he now seeks to serve. As a “grassrooter” in the truest sense, he has walked the streets, shared in the struggles of traders, farmers, artisans, youths, and elders, and listened carefully to the everyday concerns of his people. This close connection places him in a unique position to represent Lagelu not merely as a lawmaker, but as a voice and defender of the people’s interests.

Central to his vision is welfare. Big Daddy has consistently emphasized that governance must first touch human lives. His plans include advocating for improved healthcare access, social support for the elderly and vulnerable, and policies that ease the economic burdens faced by families. By prioritising people over politics, he intends to make the House of Assembly a platform where the needs of Lagelu citizens are clearly heard and effectively addressed.

Development stands as another pillar of his agenda. Lagelu, rich in human and natural resources, deserves modern infrastructure, quality schools, accessible roads, clean water, and functional health centres. Hon. Olatoye has pledged to use his legislative influence to attract meaningful projects to the constituency, working closely with relevant ministries, agencies, and the executive arm of government to ensure that Lagelu is not left behind in Oyo State’s development drive. His commitment is not only to facilitate projects but to ensure transparency, accountability, and sustainability in their execution.

Equally important is empowerment. Recognising that the strength of any society lies in its people, Hon. Olatoye has outlined robust plans to empower youths, women, and small-scale entrepreneurs through skills acquisition programmes, vocational training, access to grants and micro-credit, and educational support. By creating opportunities for self-reliance, he aims to reduce unemployment, curb social vices, and unlock the vast potential within Lagelu’s population.

Beyond projects and policies, what truly defines Big Daddy Sugar is his leadership style: approachable, consultative, and inclusive. He believes representation should not end at the ballot box. Regular town-hall meetings, constituency offices, and open-door engagements will form the backbone of his relationship with the people, ensuring that governance remains participatory and responsive.

As Lagelu looks to the future, the coming of Mogaji Hon. Olajide Olatoye to the Oyo State House of Assembly represents more than a change of faces, it represents a shift towards grassroots-driven governance, compassionate leadership, and strategic development. With his blend of experience, passion, and unwavering commitment to welfare, development, and empowerment, Lagelu stands poised to witness a new era of effective representation and inclusive progress.

Indeed, for the people of Lagelu, hope is rising and it bears the name Mogaji Honorable Olajide Olatoye.
