As local government elections approach, Hon. Ismail Monsuru Akinloye is seeking a renewed mandate to continue what many describe as a transformative tenure at the helm of Eredo Local Council Development Area (LCDA). Running on a record of tangible achievements, Akinloye has officially declared his intent to return to office, promising to deepen ongoing reforms and accelerate development across key sectors.
Over the past term, Eredo LCDA has witnessed significant infrastructural upgrades, improved access to education, expanded social empowerment programmes, and targeted environmental interventions. These initiatives, according to residents and observers, have marked a visible shift in governance outcomes for communities under the council’s jurisdiction.
From rehabilitated roads and public facilities to youth and women-focused empowerment schemes, Akinloye’s administration has earned commendations for prioritising grassroots development through practical, community-centred governance. Under his leadership, educational support programmes, including scholarships and school rehabilitations, have been implemented to enhance learning outcomes.
Environmental sanitation and sustainability have also featured prominently, with notable efforts in drainage clearance, waste management, and greening initiatives aimed at improving public health and resilience.
With the theme “A Vision Renewed, A Mandate Continued,” Akinloye’s campaign emphasizes continuity, consolidation, and growth—urging constituents to build on the momentum of the last administration by choosing proven leadership over untested promises.
“As we look to the future, the goal is not just to continue what we’ve started, but to do even more—faster and better,” Akinloye said in a recent address. “This is not a campaign of words, but of results.”
The re-election bid has sparked discussions around performance-based leadership in local governance, with many in Eredo LCDA viewing Akinloye’s track record as a benchmark for continuity and sustainable development.
