As the 2027 general elections draw nearer, political momentum is building in Okitipupa/Irele Federal Constituency with the emergence of Monday Alade, a candidate described as “The New Oil of Ikale.”
Alade, who boasts an academic background in Global Affairs, Human Security, International Relations, and Global Engagement, has positioned himself as a new breed of legislator ready to break the cycle of underrepresentation that has long plagued the constituency.
Speaking on his vision, Alade emphasized that he is not a career politician but a knowledge-driven advocate who sees systems where others see problems.
According to him, the future of Ikale requires a legislator who understands the interconnectedness of infrastructure, agriculture, education, and security.
His proposed Alade Legislative Agenda focuses on five key pillars:
- Jobs & Empowerment – Expanding federal-backed programs for youth and women through skills training and entrepreneurship.
- Agricultural Transformation – Improving access to loans, storage facilities, and cooperative farming systems.
- Infrastructure Development – Pushing for federal investment in roads, electricity, water supply, and schools.
- Human Security & Governance – Advocating stronger healthcare, community safety, and inclusive governance.
- Accountability & Oversight – Ensuring that projects budgeted for Okitipupa/Irele are executed without compromise.
Alade pledged constant constituency engagement through town halls and consultations, promising to be a true voice of Ikale at the National Assembly.
“In 2027, Okitipupa/Irele must send a legislator who is both a thinker and a doer, one who understands that leadership is about service, not self-enrichment. I am ready to fuel the progress of my people,” Alade said.
With his mix of global exposure, local wisdom, and clear agenda, Monday Alade is already being hailed by supporters as the New Oil of Ikale , a symbol of refined leadership and untapped potential for transformative representation.
