Why Ogun Deputy Governor Salako-Oyedele Is Getting More Attention

Noimot Salako-Oyedele, the Deputy Governor of Ogun State, is getting more attention.

Insiders attribute this development to a twofold reason.

There has been an increase in government activity focused on the construction and rehabilitation of interior roads in Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government, a development credited to her influence.

The surge in inner road projects, which is improving the lives of residents, has further boosted Salako-Oyedele’s profile in recent times, sources say.

The area, which is the largest voting bloc in Ogun West, is also the Deputy Governor’s political base.

With this growing attention comes speculation about her political future.

According to those in the know, interest in Salako-Oyedele’s next move is heightened by widespread acknowledgment that, as a second-term Deputy Governor, she has demonstrated rare and extraordinary loyalty to her principal, Dapo Abiodun.

“She is not just intentional about being seen as a team player but has taken conscious steps to ensure the Governor receives credit for all the administration’s initiatives—even those she should be praised for,” sources say.

Among the discussions are speculations about how this “political play” that secured Salako-Oyedele’s two-term tenure as Deputy Governor will position her in the next political dispensation.
