"2027: RAD’s Humble Appeal Ignites Hope for Women in Lagelu, Calls on Gov. Makinde, Party Leader's Support "

Hon. Ramata Agberemi Dabo, popularly known as RAD, has formally declared her intention to contest for a seat in the Oyo State House of Assembly representing Lagelu Constituency ahead of the 2027 general elections, with a strong appeal for increased women’s inclusiveness in governance.

During her declaration, RAD passionately called on the governor, party leaders, stakeholders, and faithful members to go beyond rhetoric and take concrete steps toward ensuring greater female representation in elective positions. She emphasized the urgent need for a shift that would allow women to have a stronger voice in the legislative arm of government.

She expressed profound appreciation to the Executive Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, for his unwavering support for women’s empowerment, describing him as a true champion of gender inclusion in both the state and the nation.

“For years, our men have done their part in representing Lagelu, and we appreciate their contributions to the development of our state. However, the time has come to give women the opportunity to also serve and bring a different perspective to governance,” she stated.

RAD further urged the party to consider special slots for female politicians, insisting that meaningful inclusion must be backed by deliberate policies and actionable commitments.

Reaffirming her readiness, she pledged to build on the achievements of her predecessors if given the party’s ticket, promising responsive, people-oriented, and inclusive representation.

“I am not coming to start from scratch. I intend to consolidate on the gains already made, while ensuring that our people feel the true impact of representation through effective legislation and constituency engagement,” she added.

In recognition of women who have made significant impacts at the grassroots, RAD celebrated Chief (Mrs) Wulemot Ibitoye, Iya Adinni General of Lagelu West, and Iya Aladuke Okewusi for their contributions to development of the community and her personality.

She also extended warm greetings to mothers across Oyo State, acknowledging the roles of notable women leaders including  the First Lady of Oyo State, Engr (Mrs) Tamunominini Makinde FNSE, Yeyeoba Mutiat Ladoja, Distinguished Senator Monsurat Sunmonu, Alhaja Modinat Adedibu and others.
