Central to Hon. Ajayi’s campaign is the call for zoning the Ado-Odo/Ota Constituency 1 assembly seat to the rural wards. He argues that for too long, communities such as Ilogbo, Atan, Ijoko, and Iju have been marginalized in both infrastructural development and political appointments. Zoning the assembly seat to these areas, he insists, would promote inclusiveness, equity, and a fairer distribution of developmental resources.
With strong grassroots support and a legacy of impactful leadership, Hon. Jamiu Ajayi’s entry into the 2027 House of Assembly race is expected to reshape political dynamics in Ado-Odo/Ota and inspire a renewed push for rural-focused governance in Ogun State.
The APC stalwart highlighted that if he’s elected, his tenure will witness balanced development, effective grassroot representation, timely empowerment, social inclusion and improved interactive opportunities across the whole constituency.
