OGHA 2027: Okiki Oludegun Unveils Plans for Ota State Constituency 1
A serial entrepreneur and emerging political figure, Okikiola Abayomi Oludegun, has formally declared his readiness to represent Ota State Constituency 1 seat in the Ogun State House of Assembly ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Oludegun, popularly known as Okiki, made the declaration during a “Meet the Press” media chat organised by the Nigeria Union of Journalists, Ogun West Chapel, in Ota on Monday.
“With a solid political background in my family, I am strategically prepared to serve the people of my constituency. I can assure them it will be unprecedented representation,” he said.
Speaking at the event, the Chief Executive Officer of Bizenol Nigeria Limited expressed concern over rising youth unemployment in Ota, warning that many young people are being pushed into transport union activities that underutilise their skills and potential.
“It is worrisome seeing vibrant youths forced into roles that do not reflect their capacity. This trend must be reversed through deliberate policies,” Oludegun stated.
He revealed plans to sponsor a bill specifically targeted at reducing youth dependence on transport unionism by creating pathways to more sustainable and rewarding careers.
Oludegun outlined a five-point legislative agenda aimed at transforming Ota into a thriving economic hub in Ogun State.
“My priority is to reposition Ota as one of the major industrial hubs in Ogun State, creating multiple employment opportunities for our people,” he said.
According to him, his proposed bills will focus on:
- Establishment of an Awori Traditional Council
- Youth empowerment and job creation initiatives
- Massive infrastructural development
- Industrial expansion and economic growth
- Improved healthcare and social services
He emphasized that youth development remains central to nation-building.
“Young people are a veritable platform for nation-building; we must invest in their growth and future.”
To ensure inclusive governance, Oludegun pledged to establish liaison officers across all eight wards in Ota Constituency 1, enhancing communication between the people and their representative.
“I intend to have liaison officers in each ward to ensure responsive engagement and all-inclusive representation,” he explained.
Highlighting his longstanding commitment to humanitarian service, Oludegun noted that his political ambition is driven by years of grassroots engagement and personal interventions in community welfare.
“I have consistently supported people in need—paying hospital bills, providing medications, and rendering community services. This is about deepening that impact,” he said.
He added that Ota deserves better living conditions and pledged to improve key aspects of life if elected.
“The constituency deserves to be in a better state than it is today. My mission is to uplift lives and deliver real development.”
With a strong focus on youth empowerment, industrial growth, and grassroots governance, Okiki Oludegun’s 2027 declaration signals a development-driven campaign that could reshape political dynamics in Ota Constituency 1.
