As the July 12 chairmanship election draws near in Lagos State, the political atmosphere in Oshodi/Isolo Local Government Area is charged with optimism and unity as all major political stakeholders have thrown their weight behind the incumbent chairman, Kehinde Almoroof Oloyede, popularly known as Kendoo.
The resounding endorsement from across party lines, community leaders, youth organizations, market associations, and residents is not just a political gesture—it is a statement of confidence in a leader whose first term has transformed one of Lagos’s most volatile and neglected areas into a symbol of progress and hope.
When Kendoo assumed office, Oshodi bore the reputation of a chaotic and unsafe zone—a place where miscreants and touts harassed residents and visitors alike, and where filth had become a daily burden. However, under his stewardship, that narrative has changed dramatically. Roads that were once riddled with potholes and impassable during rainy seasons have now been tarred and opened up for smooth movement. Major arteries in the local government, critical to commerce and daily life, have been reconstructed, boosting trade and easing transport.
More importantly, security, long absent in the area, has been restored. Through a strategic partnership with law enforcement and the introduction of community-based initiatives, Kendoo has taken back Oshodi from the hands of street gangs and criminal elements. The once-infamous hub of unrest is now a safer, more welcoming space for businesses and families alike.
Environmental sanitation, too, has received unprecedented attention. The filth that plagued markets and streets has been tackled head-on, thanks to the chairman’s aggressive clean-up campaigns and infrastructural interventions. Markets are now more organized, cleaner, and conducive for traders and customers, with improved waste management systems ensuring a healthier environment.
This is why the chorus of support for Kehinde Almoroof Oloyede’s re-election is not just political rhetoric—it is an endorsement rooted in visible transformation and tangible change. Residents now live with a renewed sense of pride in their community, and many who once avoided Oshodi now do business there with confidence.
With his achievements speaking louder than any campaign slogan, Kendoo is not just the favored candidate; he is the proven choice. As July 12 approaches, the message from Oshodi/Isolo is clear: progress must not be paused. Voters are being urged to come out en masse and re-elect a leader who has delivered on his promises and who represents continuity, stability, and sustained development.
Kehinde Almoroof Oloyede has earned another term—not through words, but through results.
