ALAYAKI ONA-ARA 2026….
IT’S YOUTH O’CLOCK….
As Ona-Ara Local Government approaches the 2026 council elections, the demand for credible, competent, and people-oriented leadership has become increasingly pronounced. At a time when governance must be driven by both capacity and genuine grassroots connection, it is essential to identify individuals whose track record reflects readiness for the responsibilities of public office.
Within this context, Hon. Oduola Olumide Sunday (ALAYÀKÍ) stands out as a compelling choice.
His political journey is defined by consistency, structure, and purposeful engagement. Over the years, ALAYÀKÍ has remained actively involved within party systems and community-based interactions, demonstrating loyalty, discipline, and a clear understanding of the political terrain in Ona-Ara. This sustained involvement distinguishes him from many aspirants whose ambitions may lack depth or continuity.
A defining strength of his candidacy is his deep-rooted familiarity with the local government. From Akanran, Olorunsogo, Badeku, Araromi, Osun-Eleja, Apapa, Jigan, and Ogbere, to Odo-Oba, Ajia, and surrounding rural communities, ALAYÀKÍ has maintained a visible presence and built enduring relationships. His engagement across Ward 1 through Ward 11 reflects not just reach, but a practical understanding of the socio-economic realities, challenges, and aspirations of the people. He does not operate from a distance—he understands Ona-Ara from within.
This depth of connection positions him as a unifying figure, capable of representing diverse communities while fostering inclusiveness and cohesion. In a local government where effective leadership depends heavily on grassroots trust, such familiarity is both strategic and essential. In terms of personal attributes, ALAYÀKÍ is widely regarded as responsible, approachable, and thoughtful in his engagements. His leadership style reflects a willingness to listen, consult, and respond with clarity—qualities that are indispensable for effective governance at the local level.
Beyond politics, his involvement in community development initiatives further reinforces his credibility. His consistent participation in grassroots-oriented efforts demonstrates a commitment to service that goes beyond electoral ambition. It reflects an understanding that leadership is fundamentally about impact, especially at the level closest to the people.
As the 2026 elections draw nearer, the focus must remain on competence, preparedness, and genuine commitment to public service. The choice before the people of Ona-Ara is not merely about representation, but about selecting a leader who possesses both the experience and the insight to deliver meaningful progress.
In this regard, Hon. Oduola Olumide Sunday (ALAYÀKÍ) clearly stands out as the right choice for Council Chairman—offering a blend of experience, grassroots understanding, and purposeful leadership that aligns with the aspirations of the people of Ona-Ara.
