The lawmaker representing Lagelu State Constituency in the Oyo State House of Assembly, Olajide Akintunde (AKT), has once again demonstrated his unwavering commitment to grassroots empowerment and inclusive governance with the payment of March salaries to the 33 Legislative Aides recently inaugurated across Lagelu Local Government.
The aides, who were formally presented to the public during the commissioning of the Amotekun Office in Lagelu, have confirmed receipt of their March stipends, further reinforcing the consistency and credibility of Hon. Akintunde’s leadership approach.
The 33 aides—comprising one Legislative Aide and ten Assistant Legislative Aides in each of Lagelu West, Lagelu Central, and Lagelu North—represent a well-structured grassroots engagement framework designed to enhance communication, political inclusion, and service delivery across the constituency.
Political stakeholders and party faithful within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagelu have hailed the development as a clear indication that AKT’s empowerment initiative is not symbolic but practical and sustained. They noted that the prompt payment of March salaries, even after the public inauguration, reflects accountability and a deep sense of responsibility to those working within the constituency structure.
Observers also noted that the continuity in payment further dispels any lingering doubts about the durability of the initiative, positioning Hon. Akintunde as a dependable leader who prioritizes both human capital development and party cohesion.
For many within Lagelu, the sustained remuneration of the legislative aides is more than a political gesture—it is a strategic investment in grassroots governance, ensuring that every ward remains actively connected to the legislative process.
As commendations continue to trail the development, constituents maintain that AKT’s consistency in rewarding loyalty and service remains a defining hallmark of his representation, further strengthening confidence in his leadership and the PDP structure across Lagelu Local Government.
