The declaration at 8, Ajadi Street Elewura Challenge Ibadan signals Ogunbayo’s entry into the race to represent the people of Ibadan Southwest and Ibadan Northwest at the Green Chamber of the National Assembly.
Speaking at the official unveiling, Ogunbayo said his aspiration is driven by a deep commitment to grassroots development, youth empowerment, and inclusive economic growth across the constituency.
He noted that his legislative focus, if elected, would prioritise job creation, improved infrastructure, quality education, and enhanced support for small and medium-scale enterprises. According to him, the people of Ibadan Southwest and Northwest deserve vibrant and responsive representation that will attract federal presence and opportunities to the constituency.
