Hon. Olalekan Olu Akindipe, popularly known as LAMPHOLDER, has emerged as the Ajegunle Man of the Year 2026 at the AJEMA 5.0 — The 5versary: Back to Base, following the successful conclusion of the voting process.
The votes are in.
The people have decided.
And Ajegunle has chosen its man of the year!
Hon. Olalekan Olu Akindipe secured an impressive 257 votes, representing 31.5% of the total votes cast, making him the people’s choice in one of the most anticipated categories of the 2026 AJEMA Awards.
This victory goes beyond the numbers. It represents the voice, confidence and appreciation of members of the Ajegunle community who participated in the voting process and chose the personality they believe best represents the spirit, resilience and progress of Ajegunle.
FROM ALAYABIAGBA TO COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP
A proud son of Alayabiagba, Ajegunle, Hon. Akindipe’s story is closely connected to the community he now serves.
His journey from growing up within Ajegunle to becoming the Executive Chairman of Ajeromi-Ifelodun Local Government makes this recognition particularly significant.
The award also comes at a notable moment as his administration marks one year in office, adding another layer of significance to a celebration centred on community impact, leadership and recognition.
He was nominated.
The people voted.
He won.
That is what makes the victory special.
