In the dynamic ecosystem of governance, the local government remains the most immediate and impactful tier—where leadership touches lives directly and where the success or failure of government is first and most keenly felt.
Roads, primary healthcare, waste management, environmental sanitation, community peace, and small-business support—all of these fall under the purview of local administration.
Unlike federal or state politics, which may seem distant, the local government is up-close and personal.
And it demands leaders who are equally close to the people and thoroughly grounded in public service.It demands experience.
In this regard, Ejigbo Local Council Development Area stands at a critical juncture,it does not need guesswork.
It does not need a test-run,what Ejigbo LCDA needs—indeed, what it deserves—is steady, strategic, and tested leadership.
The kind of leadership that is not learning on the job, but that hits the ground running from day one.
This is not the time for a newbie,it is the time for proven competence.
That is where the story and significance of Aare Taoheed Adebayo Taiwo becomes not just relevant, but essential.
Aare Taiwo is not new to the system, and more importantly, he is not new to Ejigbo.
He is a name known and respected—not just in political circles, but in the hearts of residents who have seen him show up, stay involved, and lead responsibly.
His is not a story of luck, but of loyalty and learning—of rising through the ranks, earning every stripe not through entitlement but through engagement.
He has walked the streets, worked behind the scenes, and sat at the decision-making table.
From his tenure as Special Adviser to Ejigbo LCDA, Aare Taiwo distinguished himself not merely by title, but by tangible outcomes.
He was a vital cog in the administration’s engine, helping to design and implement policies that impacted infrastructure, youth development, and service delivery.
While others were content with occupying office, Aare Taiwo was building results—and a reputation.
But experience is not just about familiarity; it is about capacity.That capacity became clearer when he was appointed by the then Governor of Lagos State, His Excellency Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, to serve as Sole Administrator of Oshodi-Isolo Local Government for just 15 months where he changed the narratives.
With a wider jurisdiction and more complex demands, he brought order where confusion once reigned. He improved internal systems, prioritized the people’s needs, and focused on delivery—not delay.
He listened, he learned, and above all, he led.Hon Taoheed is ready to reenact the experience and make the 100 days in office more than an event just for ceremony but for monuments.
Leadership, at its core, is about vision and visibility. Aare Taiwo does not lead from a distance,he is on ground—talking with market women, engaging youth groups, collaborating with technocrats, and building bridges across divides.
He is a visible force in his community,but his visibility is not for vanity—it is for validation because presence breeds trust.
And trust, in public service, is earned—not inherited.
What makes him unique is the blend of his grassroots popularity and executive experience.
In a political culture often defined by loudness without leadership, Aare Taiwo represents quiet competence.
He understands policy,he understands people and understands the power of service that is rooted in systems, not slogans.
The demand for such leadership is especially urgent now.
Ejigbo LCDA has grown—in population, in complexity, and in the expectations of its people. It needs a steady hand at the helm.
This is not the time for experiments, for first-timers learning administrative ropes on taxpayers’ time.
Ejigbo cannot afford to slow down. It must accelerate development.
And for that, it needs someone who already knows the terrain, understands the bureaucracy, and can immediately deliver on mandate.
Aare Taiwo is that man,his leadership style is inclusive. His vision is people-driven and his resume is not padded—it is proven.
He mentors the young, collaborates with stakeholders, and governs with humility and strength.
He is neither overwhelmed by responsibility nor intoxicated by power. He is consistent, calculated, and committed to progress.
This moment in Ejigbo’s political journey is too important for sentiments or untested ambition.It requires a leader who can convert the people’s trust into performance.
A leader who can build on past progress, correct lingering lapses, and usher in a new phase of community-centered governance.
This rhythm of experience, if properly harnessed, becomes the melody of impact.
Aare Taoheed Adebayo Taiwo has that rhythm—and Ejigbo deserves that melody.
He is not just a man of the system; he is a man of the people.
And in this season, the good people of Ejigbo Local Council Development Area deserve nothing less than leadership that is prepared, proven, and poised to deliver from day one.
