Because he is connected to the grassroots, he can speak our truth where decisions are made.

Oluyole is a local government full of young people with dreams and potential. We need leadership that understands today’s realities. Hon. Toheeb represents youthful, forward-thinking leadership — one that prioritizes empowerment, skills development, small businesses, artisans, and entrepreneurs.

More importantly, representation is about availability and listening. Hon. Toheeb believes leadership starts with engagement. He listens. He connects. He responds. Governance should be people-centered, not distant.

At a time when people are demanding honesty and accountability, Hon. Toheeb stands for transparent and responsible leadership. He understands that public office is a trust, and that trust must be protected.

Come 2027, Oluyole needs a strong voice that will align our local needs with Oyo State’s development agenda — without leaving anyone behind.

Makinde Fever Grips Oluyole as APC, LP Members Cross to PDP


Makinde Can Replicate Oyo’s Success Story for Nigeria, APC, LP Defectors Declare as They Join PDP in Oluyole




In a major political realignment in Oyo State, dozens of members from the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Labour Party (LP) have officially defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), declaring their support for Governor Seyi Makinde and his vision for Nigeria.


The defection ceremony, which took place today in Oluyole Local Government, saw the new PDP members pledging their loyalty to the governor and hailing his achievements in governance. The defectors described Governor Makinde as a “transformational leader” whose policies have not only repositioned Oyo State but also provide a blueprint that could be scaled nationally come 2027.


Speaking on behalf of the defectors, Halimot Abdulahi and Mrs. Yemisi Dada cited the governor’s outstanding record in infrastructure renewal, youth empowerment, security, education, healthcare, and economic expansion without overburdening the masses with taxes as key reasons for their move.

PDP Welcomes New Members, Promises Inclusivity

The Executive Chairman of Oluyole Local Government, Asiwaju Akeem Olatunji, warmly welcomed the defectors, assuring them of equal treatment and full integration into the PDP fold.

Also speaking at the event, the PDP Chairman in Oluyole, Alhaji Mukaila Adegbola, described the wave of defections as a reflection of the growing momentum behind Governor Makinde’s leadership. He credited the governor’s people-centric policies and the strong grassroots performance of local leaders like Olatunji for attracting support from opposition parties.
