Hon. Olakusibe Morakinyo Obayan Clarifies Intentions, Reaffirms Commitment to the People of Akoko





The attention of the campaign organization of Hon. Olakusibe Morakinyo Obayan has been drawn to certain speculations circulating within Akoko North East/Akoko North West Federal Constituency suggesting that his aspiration for the House of Representatives is being influenced, sponsored, or orchestrated by undisclosed political figures with a preconceived plan to step down for another candidate.


We consider it necessary, in the interest of truth, transparency, and respect for the good people of Akoko, to clearly and unequivocally state that these claims are entirely unfounded, misleading, and do not in any way reflect the reality of Hon. Obayan’s candidacy.


Hon. Olakusibe Morakinyo Obayan’s decision to contest is a product of deep personal conviction, extensive consultations with stakeholders, and a long-standing desire to contribute meaningfully to the development of his constituency. He is not a proxy for any individual, group, or political interest, and at no point has his ambition been tied to any arrangement of withdrawal or compromise.


About His Person


Hon. Olakusibe Morakinyo Obayan is widely recognized as a disciplined, visionary, and accomplished individual whose life journey reflects resilience, excellence, and a strong commitment to service. As a seasoned entrepreneur and Chief Executive Officer with business operations and affiliations across the United Kingdom, Russia, the United States, and other parts of the world, he has demonstrated exceptional leadership, global exposure, and strategic capacity.


His achievements in the private sector have not only positioned him as a respected figure internationally but have also equipped him with the knowledge, experience, and network necessary to attract investment, create opportunities, and drive development back home.

He is known among associates and community members as a man of integrity, humility, and purpose—one who values results over rhetoric and service over self-interest.


Independence and Capacity


It is important to emphasize that Hon. Obayan is financially independent and fully capable of funding his political activities without reliance on external sponsors or hidden benefactors. His track record in business and enterprise clearly demonstrates that he possesses the resources, discipline, and accountability required to run a credible and sustainable campaign.


His aspiration is therefore not driven by financial inducement or political manipulation, but by a sincere desire to serve, uplift, and represent his people with dignity and effectiveness.


Our Mission


To deliver purposeful, transparent, and accountable representation that prioritizes the needs of the people, strengthens democratic engagement, and ensures that the interests of Akoko North East/Akoko North West are effectively articulated and defended at the national level.


Our Vision

Hon. Obayan stands ready to serve with integrity, competence, and unwavering dedication, and he looks forward to engaging meaningfully with the people as the journey continues.

In the face of the Big Brother Naija (BBN) phenomenon, it's high time we assessed its impact on our society and decided whether to build walls of protection or windmills of indulgence. THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF BBN BBN has become a showcase for all sorts of negativity, promoting: 1.  Moral decay: Explicit content and behavior that can desensitize viewers to immoral acts. 2. Unhealthy competition: Emphasis on competition and conflict that can foster envy and quarrelsome behavior. 3.

Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa In recent days, public discourse has intensified around the eligibility of His Excellency, Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, to contest for another term as Governor of Ondo State. Some legal commentators have cited Section 182(3) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended by Act No. 10 of 2018), which provides: "A person who was sworn-in as Governor to complete the term for which another person was elected as Governor shall not be elected to such office for more than a single term." While this provision appears straightforward, it requires deeper constitutional, legal, and contextual analysis. Governor Aiyedatiwa was elected as Deputy Governor in 2020. Upon the death of Governor Rotimi Akeredolu in 2023, he constitutionally succeeded to the go...

Nigeria’s Mining Boom: Alake's Giant Strides Evokes Global Attraction to Nigeria's Mining Sector By Josiah Adedayo  It is superfluous working overtime recalling the shock and trepidation that greeted the appointment of Dr. Alake, a media and communication expert and brilliant strategist, as Minister of Solid Mineral Development on August 15, 2023. Naysayers had erroneously opined that Alake would find it difficult to find his feet in the technical field of mining, where geologists and mining engineers hold sway. Indeed, the strategic importance of the mining sector to the country can hardly be over-emphasized. According to official data, Nigeria is said to be endowed with over 40 types of minerals including gold, silica, lead, marble, tin ore, zinc, coal, iron ore, granite, laterite, manganese and limestone. Nigeria sits on mining reserves worth $750billion following a preliminary report on assessment of the mining potentials by a German firm, GeoScan. But the sector remains un...
