Akinyele Chairman Akinwole Akinleye Wins Historic Second-Term Ticket

Hon. Akinwole Akinleye, the Executive Chairman of Akinyele Local Government, has made history by becoming the first executive chairman of the council to secure a second-term ticket, breaking a longstanding political jinx that had prevented previous occupants of the office from earning the party’s nomination for re-election.

The historic endorsement was announced during a high-level stakeholders’ meeting held at the Local Government Staff Training Hall, Secretariat, Ibadan, where party leaders, stakeholders and members unanimously expressed confidence in Akinleye’s leadership and administration.

The endorsement marks a significant milestone in Akinyele’s political history, as no serving executive chairman had previously secured a second-term ticket. Party leaders described the decision as a reflection of confidence in Akinleye’s performance, grassroots-focused policies and commitment to the development of the local government.

Reacting to the endorsement, Akinleye expressed gratitude to party leaders, stakeholders and members for their trust and support, describing the ticket as a renewed mandate to serve the people with greater dedication.

He pledged to sustain quality governance, deepen ongoing developmental projects and ensure that every community in Akinyele Local Government continues to benefit from people-centred policies and the dividends of good governance.

The announcement sparked celebrations among party faithful, community leaders and residents, many of whom described the endorsement as a well-deserved reward for what they called responsive and impactful leadership.

Supporters expressed optimism that a second term would consolidate the developmental strides recorded under Akinleye’s administration and accelerate progress across the local government.
