Why Hon Settle Olaide Deserves Second Term As Oluyole Local Govt Chairman || Alimi Abiola DJEfficy

Except, of course, one wants to be economical with the truth or deliberately turn a blind eye to it, the many wonders of the Executive Chairman of Oluyole Local Government, Hon Popoola Olaide Settle in our dear Oluyole are too numerous to mention, making him deserve a second term in office.

Every Oluyoles can attest to the fact that the workaholic chairman had done remarkably well, touching all sectors to key in to Governor Seyi Makinde's Road Map To Accelerated Development. This is no gainsay. The records are there, visible enough even to the blind.

Hon Settle Olaide has proven himself as not just a talker but a doer; a dynamic leader, savvy technocrat and a dexterous administrator par excellence.. Mr Chairman is just a square peg in a square hole who will only do much better when given a second term.
