Position Contested and Ward
I am contesting for the position of Councillor in Ward C, (Orire ward D) Amuwo-Odofin Local Government Area, Lagos State.

Oluwabusola Annie Okibie hails from Osun State and is happily married with children to an Igbo man from Anambra State.
She holds a degree in Agricultural Economics and Farm Management and currently pursuing a course in Health Information Management.
Okibe is a passionate community health advocate, a woman of faith, and a servant leader committed to the well-being of people. She has a background in humanitarian service, community development, and women/school children empowerment and also actively supported healthcare programs and educational outreach initiatives within our community
Why Running
In her words
“I am running for Councillor because I believe leadership is about service, not position. My decision is rooted in a desire to bring purposeful leadership that listens, understands, and delivers results that reflect the real needs of our people. I want to represent the voices that have been unheard and ensure development touches every corner of Ward C.”
Top 3 Issues and His Plans
- Poor Healthcare Access
I will collaborate with health authorities and NGOs to organize frequent medical outreaches and lobby for better-equipped primary health centers. I will also advocate for the establishment of a new primary healthcare center within the 6th Avenue coverage area of Ward C. - Lack of Youth and Women Empowerment
I will champion skills acquisition programs, entrepreneurship training, and access to small business support for youths and women. I will also promote youth engagement in sports to steer them away from drugs and crime, and work toward revamping recreational parks. - Environmental Sanitation and Infrastructure Neglect
I will work with relevant agencies (such as LAWMA) to ensure proper waste management and improved drainage systems. I will also push for the rehabilitation of neglected areas, educate residents on environmental sustainability and hygiene, and lobby for the construction of new boreholes in water-scarce areas like 401 Road.
Staying Accountable
I will hold quarterly town hall meetings, maintain an open-door policy, and use social media as a tool for feedback and engagement. I will also form a Ward Development Committee comprising community representatives to ensure transparency and grassroots involvement in every decision.

I, Oluwabusola Annie Okibie, am offering myself to serve you with integrity, compassion, and a bold & clear vision. I am one of you, and I stand with you.
