2027: Declaration Turns to Endorsement as Hon. Wale Ajala Declares Intention to Run for Ona-Ara State Assembly

Ona-Ara Local Government came alive on Wednesday, March 25, 2026, as leading aspirant, Hon. Wale Ajala, officially declared his intention to contest for the Oyo State House of Assembly seat, representing Ona-Ara Constituency.

The declaration, held at the PDP local government secretariat, quickly transformed into a resounding endorsement, as party executives, ward leaders, and key stakeholders unanimously threw their weight behind him, citing his consistency, loyalty, and years of service to the party.

Leaders noted his political journey from contesting as an aspirant in 2019 and 2023, to serving as Campaign Coordinator for Governor Seyi Makinde’s 2023 re-election, and later as Chairman of the Ona-Ara Local Government Transition Committee as proof of his preparedness and qualification.
The declaration and stakeholders’ engagement drew the attention of party bigwigs in Ona‑Ara politics, such as:

· Hon. Mufutau Ogunremi – SSA to Governor Makinde on Sustainable Development
· Hon. Mosobalaje Bakare – former local party chairman
· Alh. Kehinde Adeyemo – current party chairman
· Alhaji Waheed Adurodekun
· Alh. Isiak Arinola – Chief of Staff to Ona‑Ara local government chairman
· Baba Bankole
· Ward chairmen, women leaders, youth leaders
· Local youth leader NM Azeez
· Oju Awo Group, Team Otope
· Supervisory councilors, special assistants, among others.
They all spoke with one voice: Hon. Wale Ajala has paid his price, and now is the appointed time.


In his response, Ajala expressed deep appreciation for the overwhelming support, assuring stakeholders of purposeful representation and effective service if given the mandate.
