The Yoruba Youth Council under the leadership of Aare Alawode Rahmon Akintunde hereby wholeheartedly endorses and declares its unwavering support for Asiwaju Lekan Saheed Oloko in his aspiration to serve as Youth Leader (Southwest) of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Asiwaju Oloko is Omoluabi to the core, a leader whose conduct consistently reflects integrity, discipline, loyalty, and service. He embodies the values the Yoruba nation holds dear and possesses the character and capacity required to galvanize youth participation across the Southwest and beyond.
A consummate media professional, political mobilizer, and development advocate, Asiwaju Oloko blends intellectual depth with grassroots credibility. With an academic background in Accounting from Lagos State University and professional experience spanning accounting, consulting, project supervision, and media operations, he brings competence, structure, and clarity to leadership. His current role as Head, Digital Media and Communications to a Member of the House of Representatives underscores his strength in strategic communication, public engagement, and political media coordination at the highest levels.
His political and leadership journey is marked by consistency, service, and results. He has served in pivotal roles across youth, civic, and political platforms at community, state, and national levels making strategic contributions within APC youth structures, providing leadership within Yoruba youth organizations, and advancing peace-building initiatives across the Southwest. His hands-on community leadership ranging from youth development associations to community development bodies attests to a people-first approach rooted in inclusion and impact.
Beyond politics, Asiwaju Oloko’s social impact through the Asiwaju Oloko Foundation demonstrates compassion in action.
From women empowerment and youth skills training to health outreach, COVID-19 relief interventions, and educational support for vulnerable groups, his initiatives have delivered tangible hope where it matters most.
His core focus areas: political mobilization and youth engagement, digital media strategy and public communications, community development, and social welfare advocacy align squarely with the aspirations of APC youth across the Southwest.
We therefore call on all APC stakeholders, youth leaders, and progressive partners across the Southwest to rally behind Asiwaju Lekan Saheed Oloko. His vision, experience, and Omoluabi ethos position him to unify, energize, and elevate the APC youth constituency driving inclusive participation, effective communication, and sustainable development.
Asiwaju Lekan Saheed Oloko is ready. The youths are ready. The Southwest is ready.
