If People Say I Want To Challenge Makinde in 2023, It's My Civil Rights- Abisoye Fagade

A top Nigerian marketing communications expert and Chairman/CEO Sodium Brand Solutions, Abisoye Fagade has said that it is his civil rights to aspire for any political office he is so desired in the country.

Fagade stated this on Friday during an interactive session at the South West Group of Online Publishers (SWEGOP)'s unification luncheon, where he was the special guest of honour.

When asked to comment on the rumour making the rounds that he may challenge the incumbent governor of Oyo State Engr. Seyi Makinde for the governorship race come 2023, Fagade was very blunt and sincere in his response.

''If somebody is telling you that I am here to challenge Seyi Makinde, am I too young? No. It is my civil rights, and there is nothing that says nobody can do better than good. And the only thing Oyo State deserves now is the best."

When pressed further to state categorically whether he is gunning for an elective post come 2023 and on which political party he may contest from, Fagade has the following to say.

"The answer is yes. If occasion warrants it and I have the right backing, I will contest. Someday I will be governor of this state by the grace of God," Fagade posited.

On his choice of political party, Fagade revealed that though he has been part of the Alliance for Democracy (AD) in Oyo State for almost 10 years now, because he felt that is where the 'Afenifere' people are. But that he may have to move if necessary.

"To me, political party is not important for now. The most important thing is for one to start somewhere, in order to add value. You have to pull people together."

Abisoye Fagade is the founder of Oyo Si Ma Dun (OSMD) Foundation and the Chairman, Sodium Solutions Group, a consortium that specializes in marketing communications, media, consumer goods, hospitality and oil and gas.
