The people of Akinyele/Lagelu Federal Constituency have long yearned for purposeful leadership, genuine representation, and the true presence of a federal lawmaker who prioritizes their needs above personal interests. For years, the constituency has suffered neglect, underdevelopment, and poor visibility at the national stage. The time has come for a paradigm shift, one that places peace, unity, and progress at the center of governance. That shift rests in the hands of Hon. Suleiman Hamidu Ajibade.
A Tested and Consistent Aspirant
Hon. Suleiman Hamidu Ajibade is not a stranger to politics, leadership, or service. He has consistently sought to represent the people at both state and federal levels:
He was an aspirant for the Federal House of Representatives in 2019 for Akinyele/Lagelu Federal Constituency.
In 2023, he aspired to represent Akinyele Local Government in the Oyo State House of Assembly.
Earlier in his political career, he contested for the Federal House of Representatives in 2007 under Fagge Local Government, Kano State.
His persistence shows commitment, resilience, and an unwavering passion for giving his people the kind of quality representation they deserve.
Rich Political Background and Experience
Hon. Suleiman’s political journey cuts across strong and notable parties in Nigeria’s democratic history:
Member of the All Nigerian People’s Party (ANPP) (1999–2005).
Member of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) (2006–2013).
These platforms built his ideological foundation and exposed him to national politics, giving him the wealth of experience needed to navigate the complex demands of legislative representation.
Educational and Professional Excellence
As a graduate of Political Science from Bayero University, Kano, Hon. Suleiman possesses a sound understanding of governance, policy formulation, and the workings of the legislature. Beyond academics, he is a successful businessman in import and export, which has given him managerial competence, exposure, and financial independence—qualities that will enable him to serve selflessly without succumbing to undue influence.
Royal Heritage and Humanitarian Spirit
Born into the royal family of Oba Hamidu Ajibade Salaudeen, the Ekerin Olubadan of Ibadanland, and son of a former Deputy National Chairman of the ANPP, Suleiman carries a legacy of leadership, honor, and service. He has inherited not just titles, but also the values of philanthropy, humility, and community development. Over the years, he has quietly extended hands of generosity to individuals and communities—proof of his genuine concern for humanity.
Why He Stands Out
Unlike many who view political office as a stepping stone to personal wealth, Hon. Suleiman Hamidu Ajibade stands out for three main reasons:
Consistency – He has stayed committed to the service of his people, never abandoning his vision despite past challenges.
Capacity – With his educational background, political experience, and business acumen, he has the competence to influence national policies and attract federal presence to Akinyele/Lagelu.
Character – His royal lineage, philanthropy, and track record of loyalty to community values position him as a trustworthy leader who will unite rather than divide.
A Call for Unity and Progress
The peace and unity of Akinyele/Lagelu Constituency depend on having a representative who can bridge divides, negotiate opportunities at the federal level, and ensure the constituency is not left behind in the scheme of development. Hon. Suleiman Hamidu Ajibade embodies that vision. He is the people’s candidate, the voice of the voiceless, and the torchbearer of progress.
In conclusion, It is time for the people of Akinyele/Lagelu Federal Constituency to break free from years of poor representation. It is time to elect a leader who has the experience, pedigree, and compassion to deliver real results.
That leader is Hon. Suleiman Hamidu Ajibade, a man of peace, unity, and purposeful service.
