I am Kayode Hamzat, Omo Iya Kayode, from Ogbomoso. Son of grassroots
traders from Ile Ago, who started by selling envelopes beside a church and built
Styles and Smiles to 3 branches employing nearly 100 youths.
I am contesting for Oyo Assembly 2027, Ogbomoso South under ACCORD. Not because I
want a title, but because Ogbomoso South deserves a homegrown voice that stays at home.

About Me
Kayode Hamzat: A Homegrown Leader for Ogbomoso South
Born into the proud heritage of Ile Ago in Ogbomoso, Kayode Hamzat is not a stranger to
Ogbomoso South — he is a product of it. He is an entrepreneur by fire, a
manager by merit, and a leader by choice.

01
The Foundation: Lessons from Grassroots Traders
Kayode’s first classroom was not a boardroom; it was at the feet of his parents,
grassroots traders. His first lesson in business came from watching his mother, a petty
trader beside a church. He noticed congregants often came without envelopes for their
tithes, so a young Kayode supplied them.
Small venture, big lesson: true leadership is listening to small needs before
solving big ones.
A product of Royal Kids International School, Ogbomoso, he took that same spirit into the
corporate world. In the highly demanding energy sector, his diligence set him apart —
honored as the Youngest and Best Manager of the Year, overseeing multiple
major fuel stations across Ekiti State.
02
The Enterprise: Building Jobs When Others Complained
Kayode did not wait for a government job. He mastered e-commerce and digital marketing
early and built Styles and Smiles Salon — now a three-branch brand
providing dignified employment to nearly 100 young people.
For him, Styles and Smiles is more than a salon. It is a job-creation
laboratory. In an economy where businesses are cutting staff, he is training and
retaining. He has met payroll in a hard economy — that is the kind of practical
experience Ogbomoso South needs.
An Open Letter
My Message to the People of Ogbomoso South
My Good People of Ogbomoso South,
I greet you, with a grateful heart.
I am Kayode Hamzat — Omo Iya Kayode. I am not writing to you as a politician. I
am writing to you as your son, your brother, your neighbor who has hawked, hustled, managed,
failed, and risen again on this same soil.
My story began at the feet of my parents, grassroots traders. My first business was not
millions — it was envelopes for tithes beside my mother’s petty trade near a
church. That small hustle taught me what big grammar cannot teach: if you listen to
people’s small pains, you will solve their big problems.
That lesson carried me to the energy sector, where I was honored as the Youngest and Best
Manager of the Year in Ekiti. And later, it helped me build Styles and Smiles from one small
shop to three branches, giving nearly 100 of our youths dignified work.
I tell you this not to boast. I tell you because my journey is your journey.
For the youth reading this — you who are doing POS, selling thrift,
braiding hair, driving okada, learning a skill: I see you. I was you. I know what it means to
start small with no godfather. That is why my mission is to make small beginnings big in
Ogbomoso South.
For the elites, elders, and stakeholders reading this — you who want
competence, order, and progress: I assure you, I have been tested. I have managed people,
managed money, and delivered results under pressure. I will bring that same corporate
discipline and integrity into representation.
Ogbomoso South does not need a representative who visits from Ibadan. We need one who lives
here, listens here, and works here.
I am contesting for Oyo State House of Assembly, Ogbomoso South Constituency in 2027 under
ACCORD, not because I have arrived, but because I want us all to arrive together.
I am not promising you an airport. I am promising you presence. I am
promising you a voice that understands business, understands struggle, and understands
service.
If I, the son of petty traders from Ile Ago who once sold envelopes, can employ 100 people
— then Ogbomoso South can also rise.
If Kayode can do it, you can do it too.
This is Youth O’Clock. Agbe Ga!
Let us build a future by us, for us.
With respect and hope,
Kayode Hamzat
Ogbomoso South 2027
Our Vision for Ogbomoso South
Small beginnings become great futures
To build an Ogbomoso South where youth create jobs, businesses thrive, schools work, and
representation stays at home. We are not dreaming of Dubai. We are dreaming of a
working Ogbomoso South. That is our vision.
5-Point Vision — My Contract With You
Vision 01
A Youth Economy That Works
From hustle to enterprise
Ogbomoso South will not be a local government that exports its youth to Lagos and Canada.
We will create the Ogbomoso South Youth Enterprise Hub.
500 youths trained yearly in digital skills, salon business, barbing, fashion, agribusiness and tech repair.
Access to real micro-grants of ₦100k – ₦500k, not audio empowerment.
Internship link for LAUTECH and College of Education students before NYSC.
If I can build 3 branches from one shop, you too can build yours. If Kayode can do it, you can do it too.
Vision 02
Schools That Build the Future
From public schools to LAUTECH
A child in Ogbomoso South must not learn under a leaking roof. Education was what saved me,
and education will save us.
Push for full renovation of public primary schools in Ogbomoso South.
Bursary and scholarship support for LAUTECH and Oyo State College of Education students.
Free JAMB/WAEC tutorial and form support for 200 indigent students yearly.
Vision 03
Markets That Make Money
Protecting our mothers’ trade
Our mothers are the economy. They taught me my first business beside the church. We must
protect them.
Law to protect small businesses from multiple and illegal taxation.
Push for micro-credit without collateral for market women in Akande, Ayegun, Sabo and Takie.
Solar light and security in major markets, and storage for farm produce.
Vision 04
Health and Roads That Show Dignity
For everyone
No woman should give birth with torchlight. No farmer should lose his harvest because the
road is bad.
Ensure PHCs in Ogbomoso South have drugs, nurses and light.
Quarterly grading of community inner roads — we have done it before without power, we will do more with power.
Push for a community solar project for streets and PHCs.
Vision 05
Representation That Stays at Home
My personal promise — this is the difference
I will not be an Ibadan Assembly member. I will be a home-based Assembly
member.
A Constituency Office in Ogbomoso South that is open daily, not only during election.
Quarterly Town Hall Meeting in every ward — you talk, I listen, I take it to the Assembly.
Monthly Report Card online: what I said in the Assembly, what I did, how I spent.
Our Core Values
IIntegrity
No lying, no audio projects.
WWork
We will work, not just talk.
AAccountability
You will see what we do.
Our Mission
Representation that stays at home
Our mission is to restore homegrown, competent and accountable representation to Ogbomoso
South — by turning youth hustle into enterprise, small business into wealth, and public
service into real service that stays at home.
How We Will Do It — In 3 Simple Ways
1
To Serve, Not To Be Served.
We will listen before we talk. We will go to every ward in Ogbomoso South, sit with market
women, youths, students, and elders — and take their real problems to the House of
Assembly. No Ibadan politics. Home will speak again.
2
To Build People Before Building Projects.
Roads and buildings are good, but people are better. Our mission is to build people first.
If we train 500 youths yearly, support
200 students with JAMB/WAEC, and give our mothers micro-credit without stress, Ogbomoso
South will build its own roads with its own wealth. My life is proof — from selling
envelopes to employing 100 people.
3
To Prove That Youth Can Lead With Integrity.
We want to prove one thing to Oyo State and Nigeria: that a youth from Ile Ago, son of
grassroots traders, can lead with Omoluabi values — Integrity, Hard Work, and
Accountability. No theft of public money. No disappearing after election. A daily open
constituency office and a monthly report card.
To serve, not to be served — home will speak again.
Our Promise
We will not be perfect, but we will be present.
We will not promise what the House of Assembly cannot do, but we will do everything it can do
— with all our strength.
This is Youth O’Clock.
Achievements & Track Record
Service Before Title — What We Did Without Government Power
They say “what have you done before?” Here is the answer. Long before declaring for
Oyo State House of Assembly, Ogbomoso South 2027 (ACCORD), Kayode Hamzat was already doing the
work of representation.
Job Creation — From One Shop to Three Branches
Founder of Styles and Smiles Salon, now a 3-branch household name. Provides
dignified direct employment to nearly 100 youths, and indirect income to many more. In a
tough economy where businesses are sacking, we are hiring and training. This is our own
laboratory for youth employment.
Corporate Excellence — Youngest & Best Manager of the Year
Honored as Youngest and Best Manager of the Year in the high-pressure energy
sector, overseeing multiple major fuel stations across Ekiti State. Tested in accountability,
staff management, sales, and structure — the same discipline we will bring to
governance.
Digital & E-Commerce Leadership
Mastered e-commerce and digital marketing long before it became mainstream. Built a following
of 44,000+ verified family on Facebook as a public figure
(@omoiyakayode)
— organic community, not bought followers. Proof that Youth O’Clock is already a
structure.
Community Infrastructure
Personally funded the grading of community access roads in his host community in Ogbomoso, to
ease movement for residents, school children and traders. Done without government
allocation, done from private pocket — because home must be motorable.
Education Support
Having once struggled to afford his own fees as a product of Royal Kids International School,
Ogbomoso, he now quietly pays school fees for several indigent students in his host
community. No camera, just impact.
Humanity & Dignity Project
On the 3rd Anniversary of Styles and Smiles, led his entire staff team to a Correctional
Facility to provide free haircuts, grooming and encouragement to inmates. Because he believes
dignity should never end at the prison gate. Elites call it CSR, we call it
Omoluabi.
Youth Mentorship — The Message
Through Youth O’Clock, his daily message to Ogbomoso South youths
remains: “If Kayode can do it, you can do it too.” From selling envelopes
beside his mother’s petty trade near a church to building a business empire — a
practical example that small beginnings can become great futures.
Not for Power. For Purpose. 📌
On the Ground
Youth O’Clock, ward by ward
Not a campaign that visits from Ibadan. These are the markets, the streets and the meeting
grounds of Ogbomoso South — where the work is already happening.

Future Propositions
My Legislative Contract With Ogbomoso South

Bill A
The Emergency Admission Law
Prohibit any hospital or clinic (public or private) in Ogbomoso South from rejecting or
delaying any emergency case — accidents, heavy bleeding, childbirth — on
grounds of inability to pay a deposit. Establish the Treat First, Bill
Later principle and create the Oyo State Emergency Trust Fund
to reimburse hospitals that treat indigent emergency cases.
Bill B
The Bed App — Ogbomoso Hospital Bed Transparency System

Provide for at least one fully equipped ambulance per Ward in Ogbomoso South, with

an Emergency First Responders Corps by recruiting and training youths

Not for Power. For Purpose. 📌
