*Hon. AKT’s Inclusive Governance Shines as 33 Legislative Aides Receive Continuous salaries Across Lagelu*

The people of Lagelu Local Government Area have continued to commend the lawmaker representing Lagelu State Constituency in the Oyo State House of Assembly, Hon. Olajide Akintunde (AKT), for his exceptional commitment to inclusive governance and grassroots empowerment through the appointment and sustained support of 33 legislative aides across the three political zones of the local government.

In a strategic move that underscores his dedication to effective representation and participatory leadership, Hon. AKT appointed one Legislative Aide and ten Assistant Legislative Aides in each of the three zones—Lagelu West, Lagelu Central, and Lagelu North—bringing governance closer to the people at the ward level.

The Legislative Aides across the zones include Mr. Aro (Lagelu West), Ajamu Najimu (Lagelu Central), and Kehinde Olutayo (Lagelu North), each supported by ten Assistant Legislative Aides in their respective zones, making a total of eleven aides per zone and thirty-three across Lagelu Local Government.

Significantly, since their appointments in July 2025, all aides have consistently received their monthly salaries up to February 19, 2026—an uncommon demonstration of responsibility, continuity, and genuine concern for the welfare of political functionaries at the grassroots level.

Party faithful and constituents across Lagelu have described the initiative as a clear reflection of Hon. AKT’s people-oriented leadership style and his resolve to run an all-inclusive administration that carries every segment of the constituency along. Observers note that the aides serve as vital links between the lawmaker and the communities, facilitating feedback, mobilization, and effective service delivery.

Members of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagelu have particularly applauded the lawmaker for strengthening party structure and morale through the appointments, which have not only created opportunities for political participation but also provided steady economic support to party loyalists and community stakeholders.

Stakeholders affirm that Hon. Akintunde’s sustained payment of aides and equitable distribution across Lagelu West, Central, and North demonstrate fairness, transparency, and a deep understanding of grassroots political dynamics—qualities they say are essential for responsive representation.

As commendations continue to pour in, constituents maintain that the initiative remains a testament to AKT’s unwavering commitment to inclusive governance, grassroots engagement, and the socio-political advancement of Lagelu Local Government.
