Hon. Babatunde Oladipo, popularly known as Aluta, has formally declared his intention to contest for a seat in the Lagos State House of Assembly, representing Agege Constituency 01 under the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC. The declaration, captured in an official campaign poster circulating across the constituency, signals the beginning of what is expected to be a closely watched political journey in one of Lagos’ most vibrant districts.
The announcement is scheduled to take place on Friday, April 17, 2026, at 3:00 pm, with the venue set at 59, Oyewole Road, Mulero Bus Stop, Iyana Ipaja, Lagos. Supporters, party faithful, and residents are expected to gather in large numbers as Oladipo publicly outlines his vision and readiness to serve. The message on the poster, “It’s time to get liberated as ALUTA is unveiling the process,” reflects a tone of urgency and transformation, suggesting a campaign built on reform-driven ideals.
Oladipo’s branding around the name Aluta evokes a sense of activism and people-oriented leadership, a style that resonates with grassroots politics in Agege and its environs. His campaign slogan, “Aluta Continua, Victoria Ascerta,” loosely translated as “the struggle continues, victory is certain,” reinforces his commitment to persistence and eventual success. Observers note that such messaging is aimed at energizing the youth population and appealing to voters seeking a more assertive and engaged representation at the state level.
The Lagos State House of Assembly seat for Agege Constituency 01 remains a strategic position, given the area’s dense population and its influence in grassroots mobilization. By stepping forward at this time, Oladipo joins the growing list of aspirants positioning themselves ahead of the next electoral cycle. Political analysts suggest that early declarations such as this often provide candidates with the advantage of building momentum, strengthening alliances, and connecting deeply with constituents before the primaries.
As preparations continue for the official event, attention will be focused on the turnout and the substance of Oladipo’s address. For many residents, the declaration represents more than a political formality. It is an opportunity to hear firsthand the plans of a man who seeks to represent their interests at the legislative level. Whether his message will translate into widespread support remains to be seen, but for now, the stage is set for Hon. Babatunde Oladipo to formally step into the race and make his case to the people of Agege.
