As the Remo Federal Constituency prepares for a bye-election following the unfortunate passing of Hon. Adewunmi Onanuga (IJAYA), the political landscape is abuzz with discussions about who will step into the role to complete her term. The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State faces two critical questions: which local government area should produce the candidate, and who among the aspirants possesses the credentials and capability to effectively represent the constituency?
The constituency comprises three local government areas, but a prevailing sentiment among stakeholders suggests that the replacement should come from Sagamu, the same local government as the late Hon. Onanuga. This move is seen as a way to ensure continuity and honour the mandate she began in 2019, with two years remaining in the term.
Among the numerous aspirants vying for the position, one name stands out: Oyeleke Folajuwon Oluwole,
Popularly known as Oye. A seasoned grassroots politician, Oyeleke boasts extensive experience and a deep understanding of the political dynamics within the Remo Federal Constituency. His reputation as a team player, a decent politician, and a firm believer in the equitable distribution of democratic dividends has earned him widespread recognition.
Oyeleke is no stranger to politics. As the son of the late Oluwole, a prominent political figure in Sagamu, he has built a strong social and political network over the years. His contributions to the success of the APC at various levels in Ogun State are well-documented, and his commitment to community development is evident through his private and public engagements.
With a clear vision for the constituency, Oyeleke has emphasized his desire to continue the effective representation provided by the late Hon. Onanuga while complementing the efforts of Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, whom he describes as the “architect of modern Ogun State.”
Oyeleke’s impressive educational and professional background further underscores his suitability for the role. He holds a Bachelor’s Degree in International Relations and Diplomacy from Iscom University, Benin, and a Master’s Degree in Divinity with a focus on Leadership from Liberty University. Currently pursuing a Doctoral Degree in Strategic Leadership at the same institution, Oyeleke brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the table.
His extensive military career has also equipped him with strong leadership skills, crisis management experience, and a deep sense of public service. These qualities, combined with his grassroots appeal and commitment to community development, make him a formidable candidate for the Remo Federal Constituency seat.
As the APC and other political parties finalize their preparations for the bye-election, the question on many minds is: who truly fits the cap? For many in Sagamu and beyond, Oyeleke Folajuwon Oluwole represents the ideal candidate to uphold the legacy of the late Hon. Onanuga and drive progress for the people of Remo.
