Dele Osinowo: Redefining Local Governance
Politics has never been about occupying an office or enjoying the privileges that come with public positions for Mayor Dele Osinowo, the APC House of Representatives candidate for Kosofe Federal
Dele Osinowo, the APC House of Representatives candidate for Kosofe Federal Constituency, has spent seven years redefining local governance in Agboyi-Ketu. He shared his vision for local governance with Adedayo Adejobi. Upon entering his minimalist white office, Osinowo discussed politics not as an ambition, but as a responsibility to make a measurable difference.
His journey began in 1996 when he moved to the UK for higher education. Upon his return in 2010, Osinowo started his political career through local government service. As Executive Chairman of Agboyi-Ketu LCDA, his administration focused on housing projects, infrastructure renewal, and modern technology. The most ambitious project was the transformation of Ajelogo, turning informal markets and criminal hideouts into sustainable housing developments.
The administration delivered 1,274 housing units across multiple estates, increased revenue generation tenfold, and improved roads with solar-powered street lighting. Osinowo emphasized that his administration's success was due to collective effort, not just his own. He acknowledged that despite ongoing challenges, their housing projects, revenue reforms, and infrastructure improvements marked significant progress in local governance.
