ASIWAJU AYORINDE BABATUNDE : A POLITICIAN OF HIGH INTELLIGENCE QUOTIENT

Lately, the profile of Asiwaju Ayorinde Babatunde rose again with the masses insisting a ready-to- serve son like him,  who meant well for the people, especially at the grassroot level should not be kept out of leadership position. However, not that his profile ever went down, it is just that within Sagamu State Constituency I political class, people have come to acknowledge him as the better option come 2019.

 Indeed, he is regarded as the most visible among his colleagues. What’s more, he is one of the most consistent members of the Peoples Democratic who has never for once doubted the political Party and believes so much in the leadership philosophy of Senator Prince Buruji Kashamu. Asiwaju Ayorinde Babatunde is a rare breed, a silent achiever and one who believes in potential and greatness. This seasoned businessman believes in loyalty and has always guided his path in his endeavour, setting the pace for his extraordinary greatness.

Asiwaju Ayorinde Babatunde has developed to a strong political brand name that has made him a reference point in politics,  in and outside his zone. No doubt, his outstanding record of uncommon achievements continues to endear him to his people. He truly loves them and is always very passionate about the plight of his people and enjoys solving their problems.

  For him, the passion that drives a man defines his focus and agenda for life. He is driven by a well-defined passion to elevate the human condition of his people (electorates) and many times he has spoken and done things in affirmation of his drive. For Fabregas,  governance is steward for God; it is serious business and not for personal aggrandisement. It is also not for pleasing a group of friends at the expense of the people. His aspiration has always shown empathy for the plight of the people.

   According to his philosophy, political virtue must be inextricably bound up with the good of the whole community and cannot be reduced to individual’s success in gaining office and power. He believes that all men are equal by nature and should be so in society. Perhaps that is what defines his approach to governance and in public service. There are leaders who are utterly self-impressed, who regard political office as the pathway to a frontier where will and ego can proceed virtually unbounded. There are leaders who foot-loose in search of opportunity for self aggrandisement.


 There are leaders who are not noted for any strong passion or ideological direction. Asiwaju Ayorinde Babatunde is a mobiliser and a motivational speaker, who has not for once wavered despite the many struggles he gets confronted with. He is likeable, amiable but blunt. He is a stickler for time, accountability and transparency.
You will always be struck by his extraordinary warmth and kind disposition evident in his life. Although he could be jovial, he is a no nonsense man when it comes to assignments and its delivery.

 But underlining his playful disposition is a seriousness that nobody dares take for granted. He is so good in nature that the welfare of his people remains his primary duty. Little can we wonder why the sons and daughters of Offin, both old and young are insisting that Asiwaju Ayorinde Babatunde represents their interests  at the State's hallowed chamber come 2019.

If it is the voice of the people,  it is the voice of the Lord.
