In Afijio today, one name continues to ring with quiet consistency — Hon. Olaleye Olusegun Thomas. To many, he is not just another politician seeking attention; he is a man who has stayed true to his people, even when no spotlight was on him. His story is not one of sudden ambition, but of steady commitment — a journey that began long before political posters and campaign rallies.
People across Afijio often speak of Thomas with a sense of familiarity and trust. They have seen him move through their communities, not as a guest, but as one of their own. Whether sitting with farmers in Jobele, visiting traders at Awe Market, or speaking with youths in Ilora, he carries himself with calm humility — listening more than he talks, and responding with a heart that genuinely cares.
Hon. Olaleye Olusegun Thomas: A Grassroots Voice for Afijio’s Future (Series II)
A teacher in Awe once said, “Thomas is that kind of leader who doesn’t wait to hold office before showing concern. He asks about the school roof, not because it is election time, but because he knows our children learn here.” That simple remark captures the essence of his leadership — practical, sincere, and people-driven.
He has never hidden his belief that politics should return to the basics: service, honesty, and accountability. For him, leadership is not about making promises that fade after elections, but about leaving traces of goodness wherever one goes. His small gestures — helping students with school fees, supporting local events, and lending a hand to widows and artisans — are the things people remember most.
Over the years, Thomas has earned a kind of respect that cannot be bought with posters or slogans. It comes from consistency — showing up, even when no one is watching. That is why, in conversations around Afijio, from small gatherings to political discussions, his name keeps coming up. People may differ on party lines, but they agree on one thing: Thomas has a heart for the people.
He speaks often about building an Afijio where everyone matters — where youths find meaningful work, where education is strengthened, where farmers get support, and where local communities feel seen and heard. He believes leadership must touch lives directly, not through long speeches, but through honest action.
As 2027 draws closer, Thomas remains calm, focused, and hopeful. He is not driven by desperation or noise. He is driven by purpose — a deep conviction that Afijio can do better and that leadership must be a tool to make that happen.
Everywhere he goes, his message is simple but powerful: unity, service, and progress. He reminds his people that the future is not something to wait for; it is something to build together, step by step, hand in hand.
And as his supporters often say with pride and conviction:
Olaleye Olusegun Thomas is the name.
SOT is the slogan.
2027 is the year.
