From Humble Trader to Political Powerhouse in Ibadan: Five Things to Know About Saheed Oladele, Oyo’s 2027 Governorship Hopeful

Saheed Oladele, respected for his boldness, is a go-getter who believes anything is achievable.

From humble beginnings of hawking pepper on wooden trays, he became the first ever Baàmẹ̀kọ́ of Ibadanland and Àmúyangàn Ilẹ Oòduà.

From being a struggling student, he got tagged a genius. From an underdog, he has become a formidable force in the politics of Oyo State.

Oloye Saheed Oladele’s consultative moving train has reached the National Chairman of APC, former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje, APC Elder Statesman and former Governor of Osun State, Chief Bisi Akande, APC Elder Statesman and Chairman of Lagos State Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC), Prince Tajudeen Olusi, the First Daughter of Nigeria, Mrs Folasade Tinubu-Ojo, the National Security Council Chairman of APC and former Minister of Defence, General Abdulrahman Danbazzau, the CEO of Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, and the first female Speaker of the Federal House of Representatives, Rt Hon. Patricia Olubunmi Etteh, among other important stakeholders, all within a record short span of time.

Here are five compelling reasons why Saheed Oladele is the Governor Oyo State needs in 2027:

Saheed Oladele is a first-class graduate of the University of Ibadan and a prolific writer with good books to his credit.

He is also an educational consultant who has trained teachers in over 200 schools across Nigeria and is the Founder of the renowned Erudite Group of Schools, a world record setter in Cambridge A’ Level international examinations, having achieved 100% passes within the world’s shortest preparatory time.

Oloye Saheed Oladele is not just a proud son of Ibadan with deep roots left, right and centre, he is also a prominent chief of Ibadanland who has a good relationship with the Central Council of Ibadan Indigenes (CCII). Ibadan alone has over 52% voting population in Oyo State, so being a popular Ibadan ọmọluabi places him on a pedestal above others.

Alhaji Saheed Oladele is a reputable young man who represents the vibrant youth population of Oyo State.

Beyond the fact that youths are in the majority and will be excited about one of them running for governorship, Oloye Oladele will attract everyone looking for a breath of fresh air in Oyo State.

Chief Saheed Oladele has proven integrity and this has given him huge followership in Oyo State and beyond. After winning 11 prestigious awards within 3 months and another 4 within a month, and several more regularly before and thereafter, the Chairman/CEO of Erudite Group of Schools was recently described as one of the most decorated Ibadan indigenes of all time by a US-based researcher and social critic who made reference to his diligence and integrity.

Oloye Saheed Oladele is in the right party and stands a higher chance of winning both the primary ticket and the general election above every other aspirant based on his much-sought-after qualities of scholarliness, boldness, ingenuity, omoluabiism, youthfulness and integrity as stated above.

Moreover, the Baàmẹ̀kọ́ of Ibadanland has come out at the right time when APC leaders in Oyo State are shopping for a neutral aspirant who can unite the par

ty and who also ticks all the boxes.
